Protesters in Spain shoot water guns at tourists

Description:

Thousands of residents across Spain and parts of Europe protested Sunday against mass tourism, blaming it for rising housing costs and the displacement of locals. In cities like Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, demonstrators sprayed tourists with water guns and held signs like “Tourist Go Home.” Similar protests occurred in Venice and Lisbon.
