  • Dude I live in Tenerife born and raised, the “south” of the island which is what we call the tourist part and I mean spring break mixed with old retired perople… they have ghettos and communities just with germans, just with russians, jsut with british…

    The issue salaries are shit here because the status quo wants it to remain like that despite protests, we have the climate so all efforts go into hotels, services and takin as much money from those tourists that make 3x as much as we do.

    And ever since like the early 2000’s they started bit by bit buying cheap (for them) and making entire spaces full foreign communities, with their own bars, supermarkets… nobody speaks spanish there NOBODY! you go into a small 7/11 in some areas in Los Cristianos or Las Chafiras and ask for something adn they look at you like YOU re foreigner

    Now to sum to that then the BOOM of temp tourists renting happened and it made everything even worse.



  • That’s what happens when you open the market to a country with no labour standards and rights.

    It’s easier to go there, be taxed there and pay shit salaries and keep the workforce working 12h a day with barely any effective training or standards in a place made of ‘chinesium’ than to be an honest employer and be taxed fairly and pay fair wages even if that means you don’t get 20 millions a year for yourself…

    We’ve stopped reminding the ‘ruling’ class that we’re many and when angry we used to drag them outside and hang them from trees
