Bolt in the Balearic Islands: Court Opens the Door — What Now?

Answer

Why is the government appealing the court decision in the Balearic Islands?

It is also trying to avoid a fragmented system where different licences are approved under inconsistent criteria. In Mallorca, that matters because mobility rules need to be workable, not just legally reviewed.
