Palma City Council has repeatedly stated that between 60% and 70% of residents of the old prison of Palma They are undocumented immigrants. The city council is thus refusing to assume responsibility for helping them and points out that the Spanish government is responsible for this problem. The first deputy mayor of Palma, Javier Bonet, asserted on Tuesday that the State "has full jurisdiction over people who are undocumented." "If it has been able to build a tent for all the immigrants arriving by boat, it should also be able to address this housing crisis," he emphasized. In contrast, the Spanish government delegation in the Balearic Islands, which is awaiting the City Council's proposal at a meeting of the Local Security Board, believes that the situation of the former prison "requires each institution to exercise its powers to offer a response" to the situation.

The proposed new regional financing model presented this Friday by the First Vice President of the Government and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, would increase the Balearic Islands' annual funding by €412 million compared to the current system. At a press conference, the Government Delegate in the Islands, Alfonso Rodríguez, explained that this new system would place the archipelago above the average in adjusted per capita funding, compared to the current model where it falls below the average.

The Spanish government is not considering the possibility of co-managing the Balearic Islands' airports with the regional government and considered it "a trap" to point to the infrastructure managed by Aena as the cause of tourist overcrowding.
