Protesters carrying signs with anti-tourist slogans and chanting “tourists go home” took to the streets of Barcelona, saying mass tourism is making the city unaffordable to residents.

#barcelona #tourist #protest #nbcnewsnow
It’s the Eurocup right now. Cancel the matches then.
Tourism is thier only economy 😂😂😂
It’s amazing how kindly xenophobia was portrayed. Spraying people with water guns is completely uncalled for.
There’s nothing wrong with having open arms towards refugees. The issue is being rude or hateful towards tourists. If a tourist is being respectful there is no need for this kind of behavior.
Check. Cancel Spain vacation.
The tourists aren’t to blame.
Very sad.. went about 6 yrs ago.. it’s a beautiful city!!
Good to know. I like Dalmatia more anyway.
Ok no world cup for you 😅
Malta is better. Spain is not on my bucket list but Malta most certainly is.
These pepple nowadays are screwy😅 anti tourist protests😅
I would have sold my property to wealthy companies and shift to a small town and live like a King.
If people there don’t have money to live they will really be disappointed when tourists stop adding millions of dollars in revenue.
so the problem is not tourism, the problem is, according to that first guy.. money distribution. so now he wants no one to get money at all. what a genius.
Not going Europe. Stuck here in Asia😀don’t want spend my money
I live in a tourist area and tourist ARE so obnoxious. They have no respect for our nature and throw their trash wherever BUT our economy depends on them so we tolerate them. I understand their perspective though
Don’t Go to Spain
These feisty spanish fly macarena chicks protesting ay..
Is the same in New York City New Jersey in Los angeles and no rent cap They don’t care about residents.They don’t care about citizens There’s no help for the citizens and none of these major metropolis cities they’re going to Raising a rent and said they get what they want
Could this be any more Chilean?
Well if tourism stops you will be even more broke.
What a pathetic country
They will be crying soon for people to come back.
Racist Americans have nothing on the Spanish.
nooooo tourists but illegal aliens they like? lol
the irony of the spanish not wanting visitors l o l
Imagine Spaniards getting angry about getting unwanted visitors… Oh, the irony…
Refugees drain taxpayer funds while tourists are a net positive. Are these people slow?
It’s always leftist women that are protesting. Notice that. Look in America. The “palestine” protests are mostly leftist women. Women have propensity to be marxist is why the western world is “woke”!
Now I understand why middle eastern society stifles women’s rights!
Okay people from there shouldn’t visit other places 🤷🏼♀️
They don’t channel it toward the government because this people ARE the government.
No cap, look at all the subsidies of all kinds these people receive to spread lies and misinformation to dumb down the people. Later, they vote and they become the ruling class.
Geweld komt altijd van de links.
Staan geschiedenis boeken vol voorbeelden
Dear tourists: You are WELCOME IN GREECE. Come to Greece
I totally understand it but wait to see what happens when there are no tourists. I do agree with the signs, it makes perfect sense to send all refugees there from now on too.
The way to bite the hand that feeds
Anti tourism and not anti illegal immigration and refugees criminals
man comments how americans really are the most entitled people in the world
Come to Madrid. You will be more than welcome!!
i have never planned to go there and i still dont
These are the same hypocrites that come to NYC and ruin everything.
😅🤣🤣🤣
This is gross and ignorant.
too much drunk and loud german and english Tourists…😒
I thought it was a typo on anti-terrorism but no it wasn’t.
Do they house “migrants”? First it is squirt arms, eventually it will not be.
So they protest the actual tourist who will spend money, but not the migrants who actually need to leave?
This is so stupid dont blame the tourist ..blame your government…
Portugal, i can’t open a store in downtown porto but a indu from india can ,? Then those tourists make our houses prices to increace ,we want you home WE ARE NOT RACIST ,WE JUST WANT OUR CITY TO STOP CHANGING FOR OUTSIDERS
Left progressive women are so ignorant they will destroy the prosperity in western countries. Palestina flags at an anti tourist protest. Really? Completely unrelated things that conflated. Then they are opposed to people bringing in money compared to people costing money.
Its airb&b thats the problem
Visit Morocco instead. It’s only few kilometers south. The food is tastier and the people are much nicer.
Who wants to go to Spain 😂😂😂. Overrated
Surprise surprise, they carry a Palestinian flag…
All countries in the world should banned their citizen to go there … and lest see what that they going to do
I hope México is taking notes.
How does a tourist, who visits for 2 weeks and just stays at a hotel and visit’s restaurants, raising your cost of living?
Yet a refugee who goes on welfare and requires free housing is acceptable and not a problem?
Its sounds. Like Tadoussac and the north shore
Here in croatian city Split,manny apartment owners has moved from theirs old apartments into new apartments,and old apartment has been refurbished for tourist apartments.And in my 5 store building,with 20 apartments,and 80 residents.Their is one tourist apartment on first floor next to my apartment,and we haved tourists from india,and england,and turkey.And some of them live in Split in crowded apartments,and they all work for Glovo delivery service.Wich is just gig minimum wage job,wich only indians has take.And in the last few years a lot of asian,and indian,street style fast food establishments was opened.Another disturbing thing about apartments in city Split is,that manny people has turn theirs old houses and apartments,into 3 stars hostels.And most of the buildings and old houses,are repurpused to be restorants called Konoba.And all of this is done in old city core,where oldest houses and buildings are 1000 years old.Everything has been adjusted for tourists,even the food prices in all shopping malls.So we local people can’t afford cheaper food,and must buy food on high tourist prices.And people on social wellfare,never did get theirs fer share of tourim money.But criminals in charge did get all the money,and this should not last forever.
This is the problem of your policy makers not the tourist
Besides, don’t go to a city where you aren’t wanted
So when the tourists go home, those businesses close. You lose your jobs and are even poorer… Ok totally makes sense
Migrants go home
So stupid.
They will keep doing this until the money dries up. Then they will ask for more government money.
I heard y’all loud and clear. Will take my dollars to Portugal.
Thats dumb….tourism brings in millions of $ to the country whats the issue?
I consider España to be a beautiful place, but if the people don’t want me there, I will respect it.
What about them immigrants sucking up your tax money for free
*they don´t understand that they need the tourists bec. they have no other economy, no gas, no oild no gold nothing but a beach*
maybe they are too lazy to work . . .
I don’t get it. How come Barcelona has such an exceptional tourists count? There’s nothing there except that church 🙂 why not Rome, Lisbon, places like that, they don’t have complaints about tourists.
They do know that we have a lot of their Spanish come this way each year ? If you are going to make things nasty for us there, don’t you think you might be making things nasty
for yours here ?
why is the protest mostly made up of women? visually I’d say they’re feminists, judging by the way they dress and look.
to me this looks like another tamper tantrum thrown by women who should be in the home raising children.
Let’s see how they like no tourist after couple of years when their local taxes have risen 100%
But the other problem is that the Spaniard are also lazy they don’t want to work.???😂
Went to Barcelona once, ordered in Spanish and he said I had to do it in Catalan; guess what? Next day, I flew out, never to return.
so they blame the tourists and not their own government that is mis-using the money? Let’s see what happens when there no more tourists
These losers are always protesting but never think of, propose or create solutions
Yes, tourists are the problem.. 🤦🏽
Silly Qigani 😂😂😂 tourists bring you money
Height of woekism. Take in unwanted refugees who will a burden on the spanish tax payers money and throw out tourists who bring in Dollars and Euros. Also refugees are put in Five star hotels while tourists can stay anywhere from YMCA hostels to airbnb. Putting the blame on tourists for high cost of living is absurd.
Me and my wife went on holiday to Corfu where we were welcomed with open arms
You don’t want our money?? No problem 👋🏼
I would not go there , if not wanted . Take my money elsewhere. That’s not a tourist problem it’s their government’s problem. good luck to them without tourist dollars.
😮
Guiris e islámicos fuera del país.
The colonizers now are crying. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 but they didn’t cry when they send Cristopee Columbus colonized Caribean islands.
Spain ladies and gentlemen
Hmm onecould argue its not the tourists creating noise and litter….
When the refugees come, the local govt will apply costs to the local Spaniards – applying extra rates and costs to shopfronts, increasing property rates and taxes (which will increase rent costs), and with the other hand supply 1000s of tents for the newcomers and benefits to employers to give precedence in hiring them such as reducing the minimum wage, loosening employment conditions …
wait wait wait what happened with progressivism?
Don’t welcome the Spanish.
And why is there what looks like a palestine flag in background? These people are all the same , no brain , no thoughts , just want something to be outraged about … They are not spraying muslims or other black illegal immigrants i see…
Wow. I had no idea Spain was so out of touch with reality
But migrants welcome..who would have thought uh??? 😂😂
So they only want rich tourists to visit? Smh
It’s to empty accommodation to free up for immigrants.
2:03 Joining from the Telemundo protest. 😂
Disgraceful xenophobics!
Don’t Spain have law and order?
The “Colonizers” don’t want anyone in their country 😂🤌🏼
This is idiotic
Life got expensive all over the world not just there. Rent is very high everywhere in Canada too.
I’m South Korean and wanted to visit Barcelona next year. After watching how they welcome tourists, I feel so disappointed. Can’t imagine us Koreans doing the same for the tourists! We love and respect tourists since they invest in our economy and learn about our culture. Shame on those Spanish citizens from Barcelona!
