African prostitutes, mostly Nigerians blamed for robbing and pickpocketing Brit tourists in Magaluf, Spain have been chased off the streets by angry vigilante protesters.
Spanish taxi drivers joined a new late-night show of strength against the women by recording them with their mobile phones and chanting: “No prostitutes on the streets.”
They also shouted at the women in Spanish: “The tourists are not coming because of you.”
One of the women picked up a block of wood as she was pursued by a large group of men yelling: “Get out, get out.”
Some Brit expats and holidaymakers, who were filmed in another protest a few days ago, joined the new drive to rid Magaluf of the women.
A man who picked the prostitutes up in a car they had been taken to Magaluf’s raucous Punta Ballena area in, was also confronted.
There were reports of pushing and shoving and some minor assaults, but no-one was seriously injured.
The new protest came after Alfonso Rodriguez Badal, the mayor of Calvia which includes Magaluf, urged the Spanish government to help the party resort tackle the problems posed by African street prostitutes in a letter made public on Wednesday.
He called for an urgent meeting with a central government spokesman for the Balearic Islands as he insisted more Civil Guard were needed to combat the criminal gangs controlling the women.
Last week Brit holidaymakers and expat businessmen were among those filmed leading a night-time protest against the prostitutes.
The women have been blamed for targeting drunk Brits and stealing their valuables.
On Thursday police revealed 12 people had been arrested on suspicion of bringing women to Spain to work as prostitutes.
One Brit-led protest organization, which has set up a Facebook group to coordinate actions against the prostitutes, says on social media: “Enough is enough.
“We’ve made this group to make a stand against the ‘prostitutes’ who have robbed, stabbed, bullied and attacked not only holidaymakers but the residents and seasonal workers of Magaluf.
“It’s about time we all unite to show them that this is our home, this is our street and we will not take this anymore. “No longer will we fear walking home alone, no longer will we have to see them preying on the weak, drunk and helpless.
“We will hold public demonstrations every night and prevent them from making a living preying on the people of Magaluf and together we will take back our streets, and make them understand that they are no longer welcome here and they are not wanted!
“If the police will not do anything about it then we will! There are less than 100 of them but we can number in the thousands! We will put an end to this together.”
