The demands of the renter's syndicates in Catalonia:
- lower rents by 50%
- convert the contracts in indefinite
- recover empty, tourist and temporal apartments for housing
- prohibit speculation, buying multiple homes without living in them.

By analysing images taken by Copernicus satellites, they found thousands of litter windrows in the Mediterranean Sea, ranging from a few hundred metres to 20 kilometres long. This can facilitate clean-up operations, making our oceans cleaner. Details: https://europa.eu/!xxpPDd #EUGreenDeal
