Canary Islands campaign network backs 11 November housing strike
Canarias Tiene un Límite backs the 11 November housing strike and postpones tourism protests. Its statement gives no details of gatherings in Fuerteventura.
Canarias Tiene un Límite has urged people to join a general strike and protests over housing rights on 11 November 2026. The Canary Islands campaign network says it will postpone its planned November protests calling for a tourism moratorium.
For Fuerteventura residents who want to take part, the statement sets out the network’s support and demands. However, it gives no local meeting point, route or start time. It also gives no details of any possible disruption to services on the island.
Housing demands behind the call
La Voz de Fuerteventura reported the network’s statement on 5 November. The network says housing pressures affect health, family ties, friendships, access to work and quality of life. It says house prices have risen by 100% over the past decade, while wages have increased by 16.8%.
The network links the crisis to the islands’ limited land and an economy focused on tourism. It backs measures put forward by Canarias Palante. It describes them as a minimum starting point for changing the economic model.
Its proposals include a ban on companies buying homes. Public bodies and non-profit social housing groups would be exempt. People buying housing or land would need to have lived on the islands for at least ten years without a break.
It also calls for a large cut in holiday lets, including a ban in residential areas. It wants limits by neighbourhood, building and owner. Licences would be temporary and open to review, with dedicated inspections to support the system.
Proposals, not new rules
Other demands include bringing empty homes into use. The network also wants to expand permanent public housing by buying and converting existing buildings. It calls for a tourism moratorium, or a halt to tourism growth. These are campaign proposals, not measures announced as having become law.
The network says it is changing its November protest plans to focus support on the housing strike and protests. Its statement gives no new dates for the postponed tourism protests.
