The graffiti has been seen in Berlin, Venice and in particular across Spain, from Barcelona and Malaga to the Balearics.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months many Spanish cities have announced measures to restrict tourism growth in response to their citizens&#8217; anger at the destruction of their neighbourhood&#8217;s character. The Balearics have launched a new tourism tax that starts this July. And Barcelona has set a limit on new tourism accommodation and attempted to halt the growth of Airbnb in the city.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the Spanish city\u00a0is\u00a0looking for more refugees to come. Last year, as part of a campaign called \u201cBarcelona Refugee City&#8221;, they city&#8217;s officials\u00a0prepared 50 locations for up to 2749 refugees to stay . Yet by the end of February 2016, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/barcelona-waits-refugees-arent-coming-144943837.html?ref=gs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">just 18 had arrived<\/a> in Spain, and Barcelona&#8217;s refugee shelters were still empty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fills us with rage,\u201d Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, told AFP in February. \u201cThe city is ready at the technical level, all our services are ready and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/barcelona-waits-refugees-arent-coming-144943837.html?ref=gs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> residents are waiting with open arms<\/a>. But they don\u2019t arrive,&#8221; adding, &#8220;In the summer we will go to the beach for a swim, in the same sea where each week people die because Europe is not providing safe passage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graffiti seen in Barcelona, Venice, Berlin and many other locations expresses rage at priorities of municipal governments and media across the continent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10635,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[266,16,961,534],"tags":[511],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Refugees Welcome.
