The youth wing of a German political party has put forward a cheeky and audacious proposal to buy the entire Spanish island of Mallorca.
The Ulm-Biberach branch of Junge Liberale (Young Liberals) raised eyebrows after it proposed to bringing the party island into German control.
It said in an Instagram post: 'Millions of Germans travel there every year – why shouldn't the enormous tourism revenues directly benefit our national budget?
'With Mallorca, we are not only securing a profitable premium travel destination, but also a strategic location in the Mediterranean.
'In doing so, we are assuming responsibility for an island that has long been a cultural part of our lives, providing legal certainty for the many Germans living there, and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy.'
