Anti-tourism Protestors Squirt Visitors With Water Guns

Thousands of protestors marched in Barcelona over the weekend while squirting tourists with water guns. These protestors carried signs reading slogans like “Barcelona is not for sale” and “Tourists go home.” Visitors at popular restaurants received the water treatment as they ate outside. Rent in cities like Barcelona has gone up 18% in one year, according to Idealista. Protestors may blame these rising costs and other economic changes on the influx of tourists. Mayor Jaume Collboni has announced a plan to phase out short-term rentals in Barcelona by 2028. (dailymail.co.uk)
