About two thousand people from Lanzarote have taken to the streets again this Sunday, October 20, to protest against mass tourism and demand a change in the model
Six of the eight Canary Islands have joined the mobilizations, all except La Gomera and La Graciosa. The initiative has also gone beyond the island borders and has reached the cities of Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Granada and Berlin, the German capital.
At 12:00 the demonstration started in the Plaza de las Naciones in Puerto del Carmen and ended in front of the Hotel Fariones where a manifesto was read.
From the collective 'Lanzarote has a limit' they explain that they are returning to the streets after understanding that the institutions "have ignored" the demands demanded by the citizens on April 20. "They were full of talk about rethinking the model, but the problems have not stopped getting worse, such as with the awards and distinctions and attempts to regulate projects declared illegal by the Justice." Meanwhile, they state that the "table of experts", promoted by the regional Executive is "a charade", while they have stressed that "those who have benefited from this unfair system will not be the ones to change it."
