'Large-scale communication campaign'Left Party slams government for lackluster response to construction sector challenges

RTL Today
The government's recently unveiled package of measures to support the construction industry has come under heavy scrutiny from the Left Party ('déi Lénk'), with claims that the majority of these measures lack novelty or any meaningful impact.

The opposition party accuses the government of being sluggish in its decision-making and not reacting quickly enough.

One glaring omission, according to the Left Party, is the government’s failure to address the predicament faced by individuals who find themselves compelled to sell their homes due to rising interest rates but are currently unable to find buyers.

The party argues that the announced measures amount to nothing more than “a large-scale communication campaign,” lacking substance and tangible solutions.

In its press release issued on Thursday, the Left Party highlights some of its own proposals: The Pension Fund should invest more in affordable housing, the budget of the Special Support Fund for Housing Development should be doubled, and a public financing system should be introduced, “guaranteeing that no household would have to go into debt with private financial institutions.”
