Garbage, Stench, Fire Risk: What Is Really Going Wrong in Son Bauló

Answer

How should a Mallorca municipality balance neighborhood protection, building-law enforcement, and humane treatment for residents in cases like Son Bauló?

A practical approach combines immediate danger reduction with clear responsibilities for health and building authorities, plus social support for residents.
