Due to the overcrowding of the centres that take in unaccompanied migrant minors arriving in Mallorca, 310 of which have already arrived this year, the Council of Mallorca wants to pitch tents in the Son Tous barracks in Palma. This is where the social services filter the young people as soon as they arrive by boat in Mallorcan. Council president, Llorenç Galmés, has announced that they will request permission from the government, which owns the barracks, to begin preparing the temporary reception centre.

'Plans to set up illegal immigrant camp in Mallorca' Yes. It's going to be called 'Mallorca'.
Its unfortunate but its a Fact that Mallorca really Palma Dose have and has had a problem with unaccompanied Minors for quite a while due to basically not being able to afford to pay for the relationship having children and abandoning the responsibility a lot of people working all over Mallorca with these children but now with these recent arrival´s it's really gotten bad and there are no fund´s to pay for this many become involved in the Drug business and never leave it in and out of Jail and the jail´s are by the way also full and over crowded , Madrid will not help as they despise the PP , what a Nightmare .
He will also be delighted to know that the cost and maintenance of all the setup, plus the inevitable future ones, will be coming out of his taxes and not mine. But, as he is always telling us that boat people aren’t and won’t be a problem, I’m sure he won’t mind. He may even volunteer to go and lend a hand doling out the food and doing the laundry as he apparently has a lot of experience with this.
Williams must be disappointed that it isn’t being set up near to his gaff
In they come, soon the tourists will be the last of Mallorcans concerns.
