\nIn the general debate on budget bill 8383, speakers assessed the government's housing package and the rent bill 7642; the LSAP tabled motion 1 asking the government to produce a new method for capping rents by September 2024, and the Piraten tabled motion 4 asking for the SNHBM to be recapitalised so that it can rent out more of its dwellings.
\nTaina Bofferding (LSAP), naming the right to decent housing as the country's biggest challenge:
\n\n\nDéi gréisst Erausfuerderung fir eist Land ass et, de Leit hiert Recht op eng dezent Wunneng ze garantéieren an d’Inegalitéiten, déi duerch déi héich Wunnengspräisser entstinn, ze reduzéieren.
\n
The greatest challenge for our country is to guarantee people their right to a decent home and to reduce the inequalities created by high housing prices.
\nSitting of 24 April 2024, Taina Bofferding, LSAP
\nFred Keup (ADR), questioning why dwellings are demolished during a housing shortage:
\n\n\nEch froe mech ëmmer, wéi et méiglech ass, dass an engem Land, wou anscheinend esou eng grouss Wunnengskris ass an all Wunneng feelt, iwwerhaapt eng Wunneng ofgerappt gëtt.
\n
I always ask myself how it is possible that in a country with such a big housing crisis, where every dwelling is missing, any dwelling is demolished at all.
\nSitting of 24 April 2024, Fred Keup, ADR
\nSam Tanson (déi gréng), arguing that only affordable housing supply solves the problem at its root:
\n\n\nEt ass nëmmen iwwert d’Offer vun abordabelem Wunnraum, wou mer de Problem un der Wuerzel geléist kréien, e Richtungswiessel, deen an de leschte fënnef Joer ageschloe gouf, vun deem mer hoffen, datt en net fale gelooss gëtt.
\n
It is only through the supply of affordable housing that we get the problem solved at its root, a change of direction taken in the last five years that we hope will not be dropped.
