Menorca housing protest: PP turns on PSOE marchers
Maó on the Spanish island of Menorca: A housing protest on Wednesday draws politicians from the governing Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), prompting an attack from the island’s People’s Party (PP) leader on Thursday. Cristóbal Marqués says they marched to demand answers from their own party’s government.
Marqués said numerous PSOE representatives joined the protest outside the Spanish government’s office in Maó. He accused them of protesting against a government led by their party for nearly eight years, rather than delivering solutions to the housing crisis. His criticism was aimed at the politicians, he said, not at the people who took to the streets.
Affordable housing has become hard to find for many people on Menorca, particularly young people and families, Marqués said. He called the protesters’ demands legitimate but argued that PSOE representatives should provide answers, not join the demonstration.
