"There are cool people and, beyond, there is Julia Truyol. Look what the coolest Top Manta has given me. Clothes that unites, warms, claims, connects, transforms, links... a hug!", reads the text published by Truyol on Twitter, accompanied by a photograph of the councilor wearing the controversial garment.
After the controversy, the City Council of Palma has clarified that the piece of clothing that the person in charge has exhibited "is from a legal, registered and supportive brand". The sweatshirt is gray and has the slogan 'Fake system, true clothes'.
However, a large part of the users of social networks have interpreted the tweet as an advertisement for illegal street vending, for which the councilor, from the Més per Mallorca formation, has received a multitude of criticism and censorship.
The president of the PP of Palma, Jaime Martínez, has demanded the disapproval of the person in charge, understanding that she has confused the public "by making a covert allegation on social networks of illegal trade."
Martínez has asked the mayor of Palma, José Hila, to "make the councilor rectify" and to "send a message of support to the merchants".
For her part, the spokeswoman for Ciudadanos en Cort, Eva Pomar, has denounced "the mayor's complicit silence" and has stated that "the left has gone from not acting against illegal activities to giving them public support".
"We have been seeing for six years how the government team ignores local businesses, without listening to their demands, imposing policies that harm them and not acting against illegal activities such as illegal street vending," added Pomar. The spokeswoman has assured that, in the next plenary session of Cort, she will also request the disapproval of the councillor.
On the other hand, the leader of Vox in the capital, Fulgencio Coll, has called the councilor's tweet a "scandal" and has charged against the City Council because he considers that he considers that "supporting the group of street vendors is supporting illegality" .
