Mourning at Ballermann: Who protects the most vulnerable at Playa de Palma?

Answer

Why do incidents at Ballermann in Mallorca raise social concerns as well as safety questions?

Ballermann is usually discussed as a nightlife and holiday area, but it is also a place where people live, sleep, and spend long periods outdoors. That means emergencies there are not only about one-off accidents, but also about homelessness, access to care, and whether anyone notices when someone needs help. The issue is therefore both medical and social.
