Knife attack in Palma: Who protects the city's nights?

Answer

Why do late-night conflicts in Palma sometimes turn violent?

Violence around Palma’s afterhours venues often happens when people are tired, intoxicated, or already in conflict, and the situation escalates quickly. Places with late opening hours can become flashpoints if staff, security, and police coordination are not strong enough. Poor lighting and crowded streets can make it harder to calm things down in time.
