He told local media: “Has anyone considered that in a European country in which its great strength is the car industry, the population demonstrates against it?”
Roughly 100 organisations vowed to support last night's demo in Palma - the second in two months.
The number of protesters was even expected to surpass a whopping 10,000 people.
Regional government spokesman Antoni Costa has already showed angst among Majorcan politicians as he begged protesters to leave Brit holidaymakers alone.
Mr Costa said: “There’s no fear because here it hasn’t happened and people have always been respectful.
“But we have seen a certain type of behaviour in Barcelona which, as you can imagine, we didn’t like.
“We ask for the upmost respect for those who have decided not to demonstrate and urge those who do protest to do so peacefully and not interrupt other citizens and visitors.”
Foreign tourists were booed and jeered by some locals as they ate evening meals on terraces in Palma’s Weyler Square during the last protest in the Majorcan capital on May 25.
Organisers ended up making a public apology afterwards due to the poor behaviour demonstrated.
Earlier this month tourists were sprayed with water pistols in Barcelona by demonstrators during a protest there against tourist massification.
Locals marched along a waterfront district of the city with their furious slogan "Enough! Let's put limits on tourism".
The Melia Palma Bay Hotel was one of a number of buildings in Palma lit up with messages of support for the protest.
A neon message on the front of the hotel said: “Let’s put limits on tourism.”
