Tens of thousands of Catalans protest to demand access to better housing
Tens of thousands of Catalans protested in Barcelona against the price of rental properties and the difficulty to access housing.
Protesters cut off traffic on main avenues in the city center, holding up homemade signs in Spanish reading “Fewer apartments for investing and more homes for living" and “The people without homes uphold their rights.”
The lack of affordable housing has become one of the leading concerns for the southern European Union country, mirroring the housing crunch across many parts of the world, including the United States.
Organizers said that over 170,000 had turned out, while Barcelona’s police said they estimated some 22,000 marched.
