Several candidates for the presidential election formulated their proposals on the question of housing, Wednesday, February 2, before the Abbé-Pierre foundation.
The housing issue marks a strong divide between left and right, as franceinfo journalist Hugo Capelli explains. Valérie Pécresse emphasizes access to property, by offering zero-interest loans for all first-time buyers, while Éric Zemmour wants to eliminate notary fees for young people buying for the first time, as well as the rule of 25% social housing per municipality. For Marine Le Pen, the ambition is to repopulate small towns and reserve social housing for the French.
On the left, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Yannick Jadot, Fabien Roussel and Anne Hidalgo all wish, by various methods, to regulate rents. Another guideline is the massive construction of social housing. Yannick Jadot also proposes a plan of 10 billion euros per year to renovate housing, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon proposes a “zero homeless” plan which he estimates at 3.7 billion euros.
