Raid in Palma's Prison Ruins: Control Instead of a Solution – Who Helps the 500 People on Site?

Answer

Why are police checks carried out at Palma’s former prison ruins?

Police and municipal staff carry out checks there to identify residents, look for people with outstanding warrants, and respond to complaints from nearby neighbours and a school. The site has also been linked to fires, thefts, and general safety concerns. These operations can reduce immediate tension, but they do not solve the underlying housing problem.
