Answer

Why can storm damage on private property in Mallorca take so long to clear?

In Mallorca, damage on private land often falls into a grey area between the owner, the municipality, the police and utility companies. When a tree blocks access and also affects power lines, action can stall because no single body takes immediate responsibility. That can leave residents waiting until someone can legally and safely start the removal.
