Answer

What happened at Plaza Mayor in Palma, and does this mean public squares are unsafe?

A booth run by Núcleo Nacional near Plaza Mayor drew a counter‑event organized by the Antifascist Coordination Office in Mallorca. About 45 minutes later chairs were thrown and there were heated exchanges; the Policía Nacional had to intervene, and ultimately the right‑wing representatives left the square. The incident shows how quickly events in public spaces can escalate and highlights the need for clear rules and measured responses.
