Bomb alert in Palma — False alarm, but questions remain

Answer

Why do small businesses in Palma get affected by police cordons?

When a street in Palma is cordoned off, nearby cafés, shops and workshops may have to close temporarily or lose passing customers. Even a short interruption can mean lost morning trade, especially in busy areas. That is one reason police operations have an impact beyond the immediate safety check.
