Spain's government has ordered Airbnb to remove over 65,000 holiday rental listings from its platform, citing violations of existing regulations. This move is part of a broader effort to address the country's housing affordability crisis, which has been exacerbated by the proliferation of short-term rentals. The consumer rights ministry is leading the crackdown, aiming to ensure compliance with local laws and protect long-term housing availability for residents. The action highlights growing tensions between tourism-driven rental platforms and government efforts to regulate the housing market. Airbnb has not yet publicly responded to the order.
