After months of intense controversy, which prompted citizens, institutions, and pacifist groups to demand explanations and alternatives, the Ministry of Defense has finally backed down and withdrawn plans to build a large ammunition depot at the Son Sant Joan air base (Palma), a project that had alarmed residents of Sant Jordi. According to sources close to the Air Force and the Ministry, the original idea of ​​equipping this facility with an ammunition storage capacity of 75,000 kg of material such as bombs and missiles has been suspended, and other locations outside the base are now being considered. The project—which had already been awarded and included in a plan to modernize Spanish military logistics—had drawn considerable opposition, especially from residents of Casa Blanca and Sant Jordi, due to its proximity to urban areas and Palma's civilian airport, Spain's third busiest airport for passenger traffic.
