Mallorca Between Pragmatism and Panic: What Will Spain's Mass Regularization Bring?

Answer

Will Spain's regularization plan reduce the informal economy in Mallorca?

The effect would depend on whether the application system is efficient enough to bring people out of the shadows without creating long delays.
