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

Answer

What is the right to protest in Palma's public spaces like Plaça d'Espanya?

People have the right to assemble in public spaces, but authorities regulate how space is used and may require permits. In Palma, there have been evictions when a tent occupation wasn't foreseen or permitted. Protests thus require balancing protest rights with orderly use of public space.
