#Spain #Barcelona #Tourism #Housing: "Barcelona, a top Spanish holiday destination, has announced it will bar apartment rentals to tourists by 2028, an unexpectedly drastic move as it seeks to rein in soaring housing costs and make the city livable for residents.

The city’s leftist mayor, Jaume Collboni, said on Friday that by November 2028, Barcelona would scrap the licences of the 10,101 apartments currently approved as short-term rentals.

“We are confronting what we believe is Barcelona’s largest problem,” Collboni told a city government event. This meant that “from 2029”, if there were no setbacks, “tourist flats as we conceive of them today will disappear from the city of Barcelona”.

The boom in short-term rentals in Barcelona, Spain’s most visited city by foreign tourists, meant some residents could not afford an apartment after rents rose 68% in the past 10 years and the cost of buying a house rose by 38%, Collboni said. Access to housing had become a driver of inequality, particularly for young people, he added."

World’s oldest liquid wine found in 2,000-year-old Roman tomb in Spain. And there's a ghoulish twist.

@euronews reports: "Submerged in nearly five litres of the reddish liquid were the cremated bones of a man, as well as a gold ring."

Given the developments this week it has become clear that:

- The International Criminal Court,
- The International Court of Justice,
- Ireland,
- Spain,
- and Norway…

…are all Hamas.

Yes, there is no other explanation and Israel is by no means an apartheid state engaged in genocide (how could you even think such a thing, you raging antisemite, you?!)

A company in #Spain has a plan to torture a million #octopuses per year – by raising them in crowded tanks and then killing them by putting them in icy water, which causes a slow, stressful death.

The company knows octopuses are highly intelligent and feel pleasure, pain, joy and fear, but this is their way of turning a huge #profit. Now they’re being slammed by #scientists and the #media – and if enough of us add to the pressure right now we can stop them.

#Palestine / Spain’s prime minister says he will propose that parliament recognizes a Palestinian state

[…] “I will propose granting #Spain’s recognition to the Palestinian state, […] I do this out of moral conviction, for a just cause and because it is the only way that the two states, Israel and #Palestine, can live together in peace.”

[…] Spain demanded “respect for international law from Russia, and from Israel, for the violence to end, the recognition of two states, and for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza.”

Pedro Sánchez follows #France’s Macron and #UK’s Cameron, who signaled their country’s interest in promoting a similar initiative.

“We ask that the commission undertake an urgent review of whether #Israel is complying with its obligations, including under the EU-Israel association agreement, which makes respect for human rights and democratic principles an essential element of the relationship; and if it considers that it is in breach, that it proposes appropriate measures to the council to consider."

The worst part of all is that you won't find any serious sources (at least in #Spain) talking about it and addressing the problem.
This self-damaging provincial attitude will cost us dearly.
