Answer

What is the island allowance for Guardia Civil officers in Mallorca?

The island allowance is meant to compensate officers for the higher costs and difficulties of working on an island like Mallorca. The report suggests that the current model does not fully reflect seniority, long-term service, or the real cost of living. That is why there is criticism that the allowance is not strong enough to keep officers on the island.
