The housing crisis in Majorca hit new heights this weekend, as the island joined some 40 cities across Spain in coordinated protests. Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Palma on Saturday (April 5) to highlight the problem of affordable housing on the islands. 

Now, the new president of the ABINI, (Balearic National and International Real Estate Association), which comprises companies that operate primarily in more expensive Balearic housing market, has shared his own concerns. Daniel Arenas said the protest was “special” but believes it won't be long before there are demonstrations in what has been referred to as “empty Spain”.
