Protest camp in Palma: Why the Balearic Islands pay a real estate fund — and who pays for it

Answer

Why is there a protest camp in Palma over housing funds and investor compensation?

Activists on Plaça d'Espanya are pressing for clearer protections for people without housing and questioning why the administration pays compensation to large investors. The Balearic government has recognized claims from a company majority-owned by a US real estate fund for evictions paused by protective regulations, with around €40,000 in this case.
