To the People of Spain, the Canary Islands, and All Who Resist:
This weekend, thousands of brave individuals took to the streets—not for spectacle, not for fame, but for survival. They stood up against a system that has commodified their homes, suffocated their communities, and sold their future for profit. We see you. We support you. And we amplify your message: The Canary Islands Have a Limit.
Mass tourism is no longer a blessing. It has become a virus—unchecked, unregulated, and ravenous. Platforms like Airbnb have turned entire neighborhoods into ghost hotels. Local families are being pushed out, priced out, and silenced in favor of temporary visitors and corporate greed.
In the Canary Islands—Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura—residents have made one thing clear: They are not your playground. They are not a product to be sold to the highest bidder. The islanders are demanding a halt to new tourist construction, the introduction of fair tourist taxes, and a redistribution of wealth stolen from the land they call home.
This is not anti-tourism. This is anti-exploitation. Governments and tech giants like Airbnb have profited from deregulation. They have flooded your homes with strangers and lined their pockets with gold. In Barcelona, in Madrid, in Málaga, the same cries are being heard: “Our cities are not for sale. Our people are not disposable.”
Barcelona has taken steps, pledging to eliminate 10,000 short-term rentals by 2028. But will it be enough? Or is it just another calculated delay? Spain’s ruling elite should take heed. You can’t silence an entire nation. You can’t evict everyone. The resistance is growing. The people are waking up. And now, the world is watching. We, Anonymous, stand with the people, not the corporations, not the politicians, not the profiteers.
To those marching: keep your courage. Your voices echo far beyond your shores.
To those watching: know that you are not alone.
To those responsible: your time is running out.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
