Fury in Majorca as ‘out of mallorca’ graffiti spotted | World | News
Tensions have flared in south-east Mallorca after the discovery of hateful graffiti reportedly targeting foreign homeowners at a villa in Santanyí. The message, sprayed on the exterior of a property owned by German citizens, included the phrase “Out of Mallorca”, calling the property owners “Nazis”. A video showing the vandalism was sent by the homeowner’s gardener to Jorge Pérez, the only council member of VOX at the local city hall, who publicly condemned the act.
Pérez called the graffiti “extremely serious” and an “unacceptable attack” motivated by hatred and directed at a specific community within the municipality. He argued that the incident should not be dismissed as simple vandalism, but should be seen as a serious action targeting residents who have lived, worked and invested in the town of Santanyí for many years.
The town hall confirmed that no formal complaint had yet been lodged with the local police by the property owners. Majorca Daily Bulletin reported.
City hall representatives urged anyone affected by similar incidents to formally report them, emphasizing that investigations can only proceed if complaints are registered with law enforcement. They also encouraged residents to come forward with information about possible suspects.
Santanyi Mayor María Pons said: “We condemn any act of vandalism against any person or community, regardless of nationality.”
He added: “The German community has lived in the municipality for many years and there have been no attacks against them because they are well integrated and active members of our society.
“The German community is highly respected by the local population and there has never been a social conflict between Germans and Majorcans.”

This is not the first time anti-German slogans have appeared in Mallorca. Similar messages were previously reported to target store windows and vehicles with German license plates in Santanyí in the summer of 2025.
In the southern part of the island, phrases such as “Germans out” and “Foreign buyers to hell” were spray-painted on windows, doors and cars.
The graffiti appeared amid anger over rising property prices; Some local residents argue that wealthy foreign buyers are pricing residents out of the housing market and reshaping the character of traditional communities.
Meanwhile, the Menys Turisme Més Vida group announced it will hold a meeting on Friday 20 February to consider further demonstrations, arguing that what it sees as the Balearic Government’s failed sustainability deal has done little to prevent overcrowding on the islands.
