[Spain] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 5, 2025, between 5,000 and 30,000 protesters gathered in Malaga, Spain to demonstrate against housing speculation and rising rental costs. The peaceful protest was organized by Malaga Para Vivir and drew participation from various political and union representatives.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. As a peaceful housing-focused demonstration in a Spanish coastal city, second-order supply chain effects would likely be minimal unless the situation escalates significantly or spreads to major industrial or logistics centers.

Watch points

• Monitor whether similar housing protests emerge in other major Spanish cities, particularly those with significant port or industrial infrastructure
• Watch for any escalation in protest activity that could affect transportation networks in the broader Andalucia region
