Protests against tourism erupt in Spain: foreigners are hiding in hotels.


Protests against tourism in Spain: what residents demand and how the government is responding
Thousands of residents in Spain took to the streets in various cities, including the Canary Islands, Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid, to express their disagreement with the development of the tourism industry. People are outraged by the rising housing prices, the lack of rental apartments, environmental pollution, and problems in urban infrastructure.
In the Canary Islands, protesters demand: 'The Canaries are not for sale', 'The Canaries have a limit', 'Where is the money from tourism?'
Participants in the protests assert that they are expecting concrete actions from the government, not empty promises. Last year, similar events were held, but the authorities still have not responded to the demands of local residents.
According to official statistics, nearly 10 million tourists visited the Canary Islands last year, while the region's population is only 2.2 million people. Experts warn that similar protests may flare up in other European countries.
It is worth noting that due to a massive outage among mobile operators in Spain, millions of users were cut off from making calls or using mobile internet.
