After Eviction at Plaça d'Espanya: Who Protects the Right to Assembly and Public Space?

Answer

What practical steps could help Palma manage protests while protecting vulnerable residents?

Proposed measures include short-term emergency shelters with low-threshold access, mediation offices on site, temporary regulations limiting conversion of homes to tourist rentals, and a publicly accessible vacancy register. A transparent deployment protocol would clarify who decides police actions on public squares. Long-term urban investments in affordable housing and repurposing vacant spaces are also part of the approach.
