Hotels as an Emergency Measure: Between Humanity and Routine on Mallorca

Answer

Who decides when a hotel in Mallorca can be used for emergency housing?

That decision should not be vague, because the rules need to be clear for everyone involved. The central government, island authorities and local services all have a role, but transparent criteria and oversight are necessary to avoid confusion. A binding process helps make sure the measure is used only when truly needed.
