Answer

Why do street sellers keep coming back after police operations in Palma?

Because a raid often removes the visible stalls without changing the conditions that bring them back. If the supply chain, demand and economic pressure remain in place, sellers tend to return once police move on. In Palma, that is why many locals see enforcement as necessary but not enough on its own.
