True news - The journalist who made the decision: S25_gr05
The article published by Le Monde on May 19, 2025, titled “Spain orders Airbnb to remove over 65,000 tourist rental ads,” describes real events and is based on verified facts. The Spanish Ministry of Social Rights and Consumer Affairs (Ministerio de Derechos Sociales, Consumo y Agenda 2030) indeed ordered the Airbnb platform to block over 65,000 tourist rental listings that violated regional regulations. This decision was supported by the High Court in Madrid. These actions are part of a broader government strategy aimed at addressing the housing crisis and overtourism. The introduction of a national short-term rental registry and the requirement for property owners to register are key elements of this strategy. The Le Monde article is credible and based on actual events that have been widely reported in other reputable sources such as El País, AP News, and The Guardian - True news.
