“滚回自己家！”这个国家数千人上街驱赶游客，泼水示威（朗读版）｜E0716

▍原文

Thousands of Barcelona residents squirted tourists with water during a protest against mass tourism.

The Spanish locals chanted "tourists go home" in the demonstration against overtourism. Video footage shows holidaymakers being doused with water pistols and cordoned off using hazard tape by a crowd of almost 3,000.

Protestors are demanding a new economic model to reduce the annual footfall of tourists and address the high cost of living.
