The Balearic Association of Real Estate National and International (ABINI) strongly condemned the graffiti and acts of vandalism that have appeared this morning on the windows of several real estate agencies across Mallorca.
According to the association, these attacks falsely accuse the real estate sector of of being responsible for the housing emergency in the Balearic Islands.
"From ABINI we want to make it clear that this type of actions are not only cowardly and unjustifiable, but also take the focus away from the real objective: to find real, effective and lasting solutions to a complex problem such as access to housing in our islands.
"Real estate agents are not the problem, but part of the solution. We have been the first to take a step forward and face up to the emergency situation housing.
"For years we have been warning of the consequences of a lack of planning,of the slowness in the execution of public housing, of the regulatory labyrinth that prevents from developing new projects and of the direct impact of state laws that have created more housing problems...."

They are very responsible by over inflating priced all over the island. If people pay over inflated prices the agents get more commission.
So let me get this straight. The Mallocans sold their houses and homes to foreigners to maximise profits. Because of this, their children niw have less housing available to them, and due to supply and demand, prices and rents have increased. However instead of blaming the greed of their parents and Mallorcans in general, they blame the foreigners they willingly sold too, and the estate agents they happily used to get the maximum price, ignoring the needs of the next generation.
Falsely?
Funnily enough, the agency targeted has listed 312 properties from €25 million to € a third of a million, and just two studios over € a quarter of a million, so whilst they may not be part of the problem, they sure aren't a part of the solution.
Well this type of behaviour and lack of respect from the Antifa being sowed and instigated by the 37 or so groups described earlier in your article who are going to Protest this weekend in Palma is a kind of Appetiser to the Protests this Anti Social activity which is Loved and Caressed by the LEFT and apparently by the MDB and the lack of any form of penalty for destroying or damaging someone else´s personnel property will continue and expand until the situation change´s , the situation is not good sorry but more privileged people than the Mallorcan Society don't exist anywhere in the world and I travel for work extensively !!!!
Uh yes they are, how do you think they stay in business than promising a seller more for their property than the next agent will.
