Answer

How do Mallorca authorities deal with occupied buildings?

Occupied buildings in Mallorca are often difficult to resolve quickly because legal ownership, police access and social support all have to be considered. Evictions can take time, and short-term action alone does not solve the underlying housing problem. Many local discussions focus on combining enforcement with more practical housing and support options.
