The Iberian Peninsula is at the crossroads of a radical shift in the private car paradigm. In the midst of 2025, with the justification of mass tourism—which has always existed in abundance—and traffic saturation, Spain is preparing to face one of the most controversial debates of the decade: the proposed law to limit the number of vehicles per household to one vehicle, a measure already being promoted in the Balearic Islands, particularly in Mallorca.
According to the official world, for years, tourist cities and regions have grappled with an overburdened road infrastructure, rising emissions, and a seemingly unstoppable dependence on cars. According to recently revealed data, in 2023, nearly 400,000 vehicles arrived in Mallorca by sea, representing a 108% increase compared to 2017. This flood of cars has caused road congestion and an unprecedented environmental impact.
Mallorca is not acting alone. Starting in June 2025, Ibiza will begin implementing a daily fee of €1 for car ownership, with a maximum limit of 4,048 permits per day. In addition, rental companies in Ibiza must also pay variable fees based on the size of their fleet, with a general quota of 16,000 vehicles available.
Similar measures are expected to be adopted soon in Formentera. And although these policies are still in the experimental phase, they appear to lay the groundwork for a new era in private car regulation.
What's happening in Mallorca might not end there. If the measure is successful and proven effective in terms of reducing traffic and improving the environment, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that other autonomous communities with similar problems—such as the Canary Islands, Catalonia, or Andalusia—will begin to study models inspired by this plan. In fact, there are already voices in Congress talking about extending this policy nationwide, especially in coastal municipalities and rural areas that suffer from seasonal tourism.
European Context
Although there is no EU regulation that explicitly establishes the limit of one car per household, there are legal frameworks and European strategies that inspire these types of measures, such as:
The European Strategy for Sustainable, Smart and Safe Mobility (2021): Promotes a 90% reduction in transport sector emissions by 2050, incentivizing alternatives to individual vehicles.
Guidelines on Low Emission Zones (LEZs): Many European cities have restricted access to polluting vehicles and even regulated the number or use of cars in sensitive areas.
Island transport policies within the EU: Island regions often have specific mobility needs and vulnerabilities, which has led Brussels to support more sustainable transport projects in territories such as the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, and the Azores.
Similar policies are being implemented in Europe through taxes, access restrictions, or parking limitations:
Norway
Vehicle weight tax
Even heavy EVs pay more.
France
Ecological penalty + weight tax
Penalizes SUVs and heavy goods vehicles.
Netherlands
High tax on private vehicles
High annual rate for private cars.
Germany
Low emission zones
Restricted access in certain urban areas.
United Kingdom
Congestion Charge / ULEZ
High entry fees for central areas.
The hidden plan
Cunningly, and to justify the above, Spain has begun implementing a specific measure aimed solely at owners who are not habitual residents of the island of Mallorca. This regulation is being adopted progressively and is expected to come into effect in the summer of 2026, with fines of €30,000 for those who violate the regulations.
It is clear that there is no logic behind imposing such a restrictive and widespread measure as limiting unresponsive tourists to one car. By making the simplest rational analysis, we know that most families travel in a single vehicle. or prefer other means of transportation such as air or train. Why then, in an attempt to provide the appearance of protection, is it decided to restrict only those who are not habitual residents of Mallorca, ignoring the real dynamics of family tourism? The true intent behind the disguise of protecting well-being seems to be more of a short-term or medium-term population control strategy, a way to facilitate the establishment of a controlled mobility model that favors certain economic and political interests. The logic of restricting a single car goes far beyond environmental protection or collective well-being; it is a maneuver designed to limit freedom of movement, consolidate centralized power, and ultimately benefit those seeking to impose stricter control over mobility and people's daily lives. It is very likely that, following this initiative—which other autonomous communities in Spain are also studying to adopt—the measure will extend in the near future not only across our country but also throughout Europe and the Western world, affecting all families. It is important to remember that these actions are often justified under the pretext of "protecting our well-being," but in reality, they mainly benefit those who promote them—the E factor (THEM).
Can Europe intervene if a measure violates EU rights? The reality is probably not, as the intention seems to be to limit mobility. This fits with one of the goals of the 2030 Agenda, which promotes 15-minute cities and restricts leaving the city or traveling between districts without permits. As is often the case in these cases, obstacles and procedures will be implemented that will further hamper the movement of people.
The most surprising thing about all these seemingly absurd measures, promoted under the guise of supposed global warming, is in fact climate manipulation, a climate modification controlled by those truly pulling the strings. What they really seek is to restrict our freedom of movement, prohibiting families from owning more than one car, while silently continuing to allow large aircraft, without passengers or cargo, to fly over our skies in secret operations, spraying innocent people. The evidence is palpable: every day, in the skies, we are bombarded with chemicals, aerosols, and chemtrails that no one seems to question, while politicians remain silent. Why is there no talk about these undetected, polluting planes? The truth is that it is they, those who control the technology, who are behind these climate manipulations, not ordinary humans, who are merely victims of global deception.
Then you come across news like this one from Greenpeace, Enigma in the Sky: What's Behind the Chemtrails?,
an organization that, as we know, is funded by Soros and receives millions in grants to support the ruling party. It is interesting how they label theories about chemtrails as false, arguing that they are only water vapor condensation. Each Greenpeace office in different countries receives funds that, in many cases, seem aimed at supporting the official versions and the lies of those in power. It is important to remind these impostors that, just like in Spain, most Western countries have legislation regulating geoengineering and its use to modify the climate—laws that have been approved in several nations.
In conclusion, it's impossible to ignore that the ban on more than one car per family appears to be just a facade to cover up the real agenda: reducing our mobility and the need to maintain total control of the population.

What a dumb suggestion! Has this writer ever lived outside of a city? Families in the country often have two to several people working in different areas separated by many miles. And, when a vehicle breaks down, it can take at least several days to get it fixed. And, when a vehicle is in an accident, it can take several weeks to get it repaired. I have a couple of spare vehicles sitting around for such instances, so I lose no time in getting done what I need to accomplish.
