Son Banya before the eviction: Court confirms Palma as owner — and now?

Answer

Why is the Son Banya area in Palma such a long-running problem?

Son Banya has become tied to poverty, informal housing, precarious work and weak access to public support. Over time, that has created a difficult mix of social need, illegal activity and environmental neglect. The court ruling does not erase those conditions, which is why the issue has persisted for so long in Palma.
