In Barcelona, ??there is a protest against the increase in rental prices

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Barcelona on Saturday night to demand affordable housing.

The police said that about 22,000 people participated in the protests, while the organizers said that there were 170,000 participants.

The protesters demanded that the rent prices be halved, the daily El Pais reported.

Protesters also demand that housing in tourist areas be accessible again to residents of Barcelona, ??the capital of the Catalonia region, in northeastern Spain.

Another request of theirs was that the lease contracts be signed for an unlimited period.

"It is unacceptable for us to spend half of our salary on rent, and to move every time our contract expires," said Carme Arcarazo, representative of the protesters.

According to the newspaper El Pais, the situation is becoming more and more difficult in the Barcelona market, since residential houses are being used for tourism, and because foreigners are buying many properties in this city.

In recent months, similar protests have been held in other cities and islands of Spain. In some, mass tourism has also been requested to be put an end to./ Rel
