Overall not too bad, but the video entirely ignores that the housing prices have gone up in a very similar fashion in other nearby countries without the same number of immigrants. It does mention record low private investment into housing construction, but without any commentary why that might be the case, and again, that is unlikely to be caused by immigrants (on the contrary, as they should in theory provide relatively cheap labor for construction).
The housing crisis is not an offer crisis, it’s as it always happens with housing, something produced by greedy investors. For example: Asturias is building 30% more houses compared to new family units: https://www.lavozdeasturias.es/noticia/asturias/2025/06/03/asturias-comunidad-vivienda-nueva-construyo-respecto-demanda/00031748964271055752918.htm
The result is none other than the same price rises as any other part of Spain or Europe.
And accusing inmigrants of any of this is just blatant xenophobia…
Agreed, a fairly balanced video imho. Could have done a bit better, but all in all not bad.
This ‘mass migration experiment’ is just a distraction for Sanchez as he fights for his political survival over a series of corruption cases. Such a move must be done in collaboration with other EU partners, not alone. Sanchez hasn’t even tried that.
