​​@@marieneu264if they act like that I will go dramatically into the other direction. no jobs, less money & local people will leave as well. classic "smart" people that don't think what their movement even does, sure if it's a problem u can demonstrate but idk if it's ok to "attack" tourist, bet they also leave their country and visit other ones, should get treated the same way then.. they just won't learn. Mallorca (seems to be a Spain tradition to hate everyone that wanna visit it) had some similar problems after all the regulations kicked it. some businesses closed, locals left cuz they didn't had enough jobs & it pretty much struggled. still somewhat stable, but if they kick every tourist out with aggression it will be poor within couple of years.
