Today Ana Juan, president of the Consell de Formentera, met with María Gámez, director general of the Civil Guard, on a visit by Gámez to the local barracks of the law enforcement force. The meeting was also attended by Vice President Alejandra Ferrer, Councillor of Social Welfare Rafael Ramírez, Councillor of Interior Josep Marí and Alejandro Hernández, the head colonel of the Civil Guard in the Balearic Islands. Discussion at the encounter included the close ties between distinct administrations and collaboration among the diverse branch of law enforcement.
The Formentera Office of Mobility reports that between 1 June and 30 September motorists who drive and park on roads near Caló des Mort and Es Ram must follow certain rules. Rafael González, Councillor of Mobility, described the measure as a response to the high number of visitors to the area in summer, and said it aimed to minimise environmental impact and address issues seen in summers past around traffic, parking and emergency vehicle access.
