Thousands Protest Mass Tourism in Barcelona, Citing 68% Rent Hike and Urging Economic Reforms
Jul 7, 2024, 05:14 AM
Thousands of residents gathered in central Barcelona to protest against mass tourism, which they claim has significantly increased the cost of rent and made the city unsustainable for local residents. Demonstrators carried signs reading 'Barcelona is not for sale' and wielded water guns, demanding limits on tourism. Housing costs in Barcelona have risen by 68%, exacerbating the housing crisis and affecting local commerce. The protest was organized by the Catalonia Tenants Union, which stated that the city is being 'flooded by tourists' while locals struggle with the housing situation. Protesters also urged economic reforms. This protest is part of a series of similar marches across Spain.
