The housing crisis remains one of the biggest concerns in Spanish society, especially among young people who find themselves unable to afford skyrocketing property prices. Popular content creator Ibai Llanos has weighed in with a surprising and radical take on the issue.
A user on X (formerly Twitter) shared the frustration: “Looking at flats on Idealista. I don’t know how many ‘it is what it is’ I have left.” In response, Ibai Llanos jokingly offered a dramatic solution: “I will participate in the next fight against all the housing speculators,” he wrote. The tweet garnered over 1.5 million views and thousands of interactions, with the original poster even asking Ibai to buy him a flat.
Ibai was referring to the ‘Velada del Año VI,’ an event he organizes that features content creators and other personalities boxing in a ring. The sixth edition is set for July 25, 2026, in Seville. The reaction to his comment was mixed, but Ibai didn’t engage further—except when one user urged him to call Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to ease pressure on the construction sector. Ibai replied, “I’ll call him this afternoon.” His playful response sparked usual jokes about his supposed sympathies with Sánchez’s party, the PSOE, given Ibai’s public stance on taxes in Spain versus Andorra.
