Motorhome conflict erupts in Mallorca: threat to 'invade' Palma

The ACO Mallorca motorhome association has accused Palma city council spokesperson Mercedes Celeste of discrimination after she stated there is no space for such vehicles on the island. Association president Javier Fuster noted that an existing mobility ordinance, drafted with the council, requires vehicles to move every 10 days but is being ignored. If the council does not comply, the group threatens to mobilize 500–600 motorhomes to block traffic during peak hours.

The caravan dwellers claim they are forced to live in trailers due to unaffordable housing rents and accuse the local administration of failing to address the housing crisis. They are preparing for a court challenge against a municipal ordinance they say is aimed at expelling them from the city.
