Housing.
Large numbers of houses in Barcelona have been bought and converted into AirBnBs. Housing prices are making residents angry.
So they protest against paying tourists but not against welfare migrants who take up way more housing AND get it all paid for by the people who protest?
Rent affects them directly. They don't care about the rest.
