Seven years after the flood: Sant Llorenç starts flood protection — why it's creaking now

Answer

Why is flood protection in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar only starting years after the 2018 flood?

The delay is linked to the long process often needed for major public works, including approvals, technical changes and coordination with other authorities. In Sant Llorenç, the gap between the flood and the start of construction has also raised criticism because people expected faster action after such a serious event.
