Answer

What happens when police clear an illegal settlement in Mallorca?

Police and inspectors can enter the site, document the conditions, and order people to leave if the accommodation is illegal or dangerous. In Mallorca, social services may also need to step in, because clearing a site solves the immediate safety issue but does not automatically provide new housing.
