All eyes will be on Germany this weekend. ??? Truthout reporter, Marianne Dhenin reached out to Housing Europe to discuss a paradoxical trend that should serve as a wake-up call. Rising housing costs have become fertile ground for political opportunism. While far-right forces have capitalised on cost-of-living fears, they rarely offer concrete solutions to address the crisis. Opposition parties must act boldly to deliver public, cooperative, and social housing solutions—otherwise, they will continue leaving the field open for those who exploit the crisis without solving it. It’s time to take back control of the housing agenda—with real investment, regulation that curbs speculation, and a commitment to ensuring housing as a right, not a privilege. https://lnkd.in/eVxvYP4d
