The intention is clear - to prohibit the entry of customers to what is commonly referred to as Mallorca's drugs supermarket, the single largest sales point for drugs of all types. All vehicles entering and leaving will be searched, the police saying that "zero tolerance" will be applied to the use of drugs.
For the police and for Palma town hall, it is understood that "red lines" have been crossed in recent weeks, not least the creation of a form of fortification that was dismantled but has now been re-established.
The clans who live in Son Banya believe that it belongs to them and that they can do whatever they want. One clan member has said: "This is a town without laws. For every shanty they pull down, we will build two or three more." The fortifications were obviously installed without any permission.
The city's police force will be informing the National Police of the plan and consulting on setting up a joint operation.

Just do your job and stop those leaving the place search them and arrest them, if the gitanos move follow them and keep doing stop and search on their punters, once they have no customers they will have to change.
I would get 4 petrol trucks from the airport, pump out petrol all around the perimeter and set it alight. Adios clans.
This unfortunately is going to be the only way to even start to combat this Major Drug Problem that exists and has existed in Mallorca for a very very long time it is not only the Drugs themselves but the lifestyle and its effect on young people and those growing up with little or no Family of which there are many in Mallorca and everyone knows it also the politicians ! Son Banya has to go !
This is soft policing. The shanty town should be demolished and the people disbursed. Shanties only lead to more shanties which only lead to no-go areas for outsiders including the law. See the shanty capital Caracas for the details. A place of hiding for criminals who rob, mug and violate citizens and then retreat to the safety of the shanty where they are protected from the law. This shanty on the island needs removing not guarding.
