The measure seeks to address the growing national housing crisis, which is particularly acute in touristic cities such as Barcelona.
The plan reflects a global trend of cities beginning to combat the effects of mass tourism on local life.
The decision grants the Catalan city’s authorities the power to regulate tourist flats in their municipalities.
Barcelona has not granted new licences since 2014, when it froze supply at 9,600 units, although some subsequent cases are pending court decisions.
Jaume Collboni, the city’s mayor, described the measures as “a turning point” in tackling the problem of access to housing, especially for young people.
Meanwhile the deputy mayor, Laia Bonet, stated that the five-year period before the licences expire will act as a form of compensation for landlords.

12-year-old Finnish victim with a foreign background sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries
and:
stabbed the 12-year-old victim from behind several times. After that he tried to go after a minor who was in the company of the other victim of stabbing
Far-right ties, violence, cowardice and racism go together really well.
I’m truly sorry for the child and their friend - and their respective families. I hope they recover from this - and that the fascist terrorist gets what he deserves.
“Far-right ties” as in the man is an actual fucking neo-nazi who was also a member of a fucking neo-nazi organization, and who committed actual fucking neo-nazi attacks 10 years prior.
He should be deported to Pluto in cardboard box. I find it to be a gross failure of our justice system that he’s alive.
If China wants to be taken seriously on the world stage, they need to start participating in these kinds of missions. Real world powers do things that benefit the world, not just themselves.
And this shows that those opposed to Israel’s actions in Gaza are not antisemitic (ignoring the eventual neonazi assholes), they are opposed to a government that is committing genocide. Especially a government that governs a people THAT SHOULD KNOE BETTER.
I have no problems at all with Jews and I’m sure that, given people who really want peace, a good treaty can be made where both the Palestinians and the Israelites can peacefully coexist, that would be awesome.
However, right now saying even something like that is somehow antisemitic. If anything, I find that sort of behavior antisemitic, because it is so transparent that it pushes more people to the far right and into the hands of neo Nazis.
Stop the genocide, stop the war, withdraw ALL Israeli forces immediately and unconditionally. Then put in a peace keeping force comprised of multiple countries in that same area, and make sure they all work towards peace.
Israel jews are a different breed than the holocaust survivors. Germany paid reparations to Israel and barely, if any, actually made it to the actual survivors. They’re generally not a good people. But I have seen protests and legit compassion from them to know that it’s always the loudest voices that are most often heard.
People like me get no love from anyone because I want the Jewish people to have Israel as their country, and I want to help protect the rights of Israelis. I also want the same for Palestinians.
People who perpetuate genocide against anyone shouldn’t be tolerated by civilized societies. The fact that mass killings exist in any form in human history is not a role model for the future.
How is what I am describing one-state? The reasonable path forward, which limits bloodshed and violence, is supporting both Israel’s and Palestine’s right to exist.
Yeah. Before that there were a Greek guy named Alexander, before that there assyrians. Let’s give it back to them. Oh wait, there were since guys from deeper Africa before them… The concept of countries or nations is utterly stupid.
Sorry, reality doesn’t agree with your assertion. Also, your mask is slipping.
Hamas announced its acceptance Monday of an Egyptian-Qatari cease-fire proposal, but Israel said the deal did not meet its “core demands” and that it was pushing ahead with an assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah. source
There’s just one small flaw in your plan. Hamas has widespread support in Palestine and is not interested in peace, only in the destruction of Israel.
If you end the war you just go back to the previous situation where Hamas will continue to persistently launch rockets at Israel and execute more terror attacks, not peace.
No, I’m not commenting on Israels methods which clearly could be better, to put it mildly. That doesn’t mean it’s logical to dream there can ever be peace with jihadists
Maybe it has such support because of Israel actions. I bet after the Netanjahu war crimes it will have 99%. Hell survivors probably will KoS anyone who even remotely resembles someone from Israel and will pass this tradition on generations to come.
I can understand why you’d think that coming from a position of logic, but no, it’s Islam.
You’re right, it’ll probably go from >50% to 99%. And probably few of them will ever acknowledge that their religion and support of Hamas is what led to this tragedy.
So what you want to just murder them all? Clean up the place? There are certain historical figures from ww2 Germany and Russia that figured out all the methods, bells and whistles.
Where do you live? Was it always the country it is now? How would your government react to constant bombardment from a fanatical religious neighbour that wanted to wipe your country off the map to get into paradise?
Probably not digging mass graves everywhere. It would be lots of foundational work. Cultural assimilation. Economic warfare. Coca Cola. Replacing the leaders.
Violence is easiest and quickest but is also stupid and has opposite effect, unless of course we go all the way to a complete wipe out. Stalin way.
At this point there is no half measures. You have to go all the way, total wipeout. Those people will not forgive Israel in hundred years. It makes no sense to start genocide but not finish it. That would be pure madness and random convulsions of some blind, shortsighted idiot.
Hell, I would grab a grenade launcher myself at this point if I was in their shoes. This stuff is the worst possible way to handle it.
They could throw a nuke there and it wouldn’t be far off from the mess it is now.
Result is everyone hates them, people are all radicalised against them. Bombings inside Israel will probably continue nevertheless. Nothing is solved but there is a gargantuan pile of problems added.
I suspect the goal was populism all along. And this guy is a psychopath.
Clearly because he wants to eliminate the jihadist terrorist organisation. I’m not claiming that’s the right decision but I understand it. But it seems a lot of Israelis don’t support him.
But just because Netanyahu is no longer interested in peace doesn’t automatically make Hamas a peaceful group. The group that performs suicide bombings, uses human shields, beheads civilians, would stone you to death for drawing a picture of the prophet. They are not looking for peace no matter how much you downvote
First of all if Israel, having such a strong military and industrial base, were not a piece of rotten evil, it could make a huge difference in the Middle-East.
But instead of actually working toward that end Israelis decided to put a kinda similar image and exploit it. Simultaneously having a narrative of “we tried, but they just don’t want to live happily” in their propaganda and even believing that themselves.
First of all if Israel, having such a strong military and industrial base, were not a piece of rotten evil, it could make a huge difference in the Middle-East.
Then they wouldn’t be the US and EU’s middle East military base. Why do you think they have the money and weapons? To fight proxy wars and keep opec in check.
In theory I can understand the idea that increasing shipping and insurance costs will put pressure on international support for Israel but it’s pretty clear at this point they’re wrong.
Especially if they’re also attacking American and British ships. No way are the U.S. and the U.K. going to change their allegiances over people trying to sink their ships if they’re near Yemen.
I think it is a bit early for that assessment. In the same wake you could argue that sanctions on Russia are useless, because Russia is still fighting in Ukraine.
Three Ukrainian nationals and one Armenian were arrested, with ten more international arrest warrants also issued.
I’m guessing those “three Ukrainian nationals” have a lot more loyalty to Russia than their homeland. And I’m guessing I know where at least some of those other ten are located.
i feel this as well, we may see proof that this is indeed right in the next days or weeks. Thanks for all the nice posts and comments, looks as if you were jet propelled !

The UK and the US struck 13 Houthi targets in several locations in Yemen on Thursday in response to a recent surge in attacks by the Iran-backed militia group on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, three US officials said.
Also struck were eight uncrewed aerial vehicles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen that were determined to present a threat to coalition forces.
The Houthis released footage they said showed the aircraft being targeted with a surface-to-air missile in a desert region of Yemen’s central Marib province.
Also earlier this week, missile attacks twice damaged a Marshall Islands-flagged, Greek-owned ship in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen.
The US also has been carrying out almost daily strikes to take out Houthi targets, including incoming missiles and drones aimed at ships, as well as weapons that were prepared to launch.
In recent months, the Houthis have stepped up attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, demanding that Israel end the war in Gaza, which has killed more than 36,000 Palestinians.
