Dimitris Koutsoumpas calls for protection of primary residences
Dimitris Koutsoumpas, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), has called for the immediate legislative protection of primary residences and an end to evictions and foreclosures. Following a recent mobilization, Koutsoumpas criticized a system he claims treats housing as a commodity to benefit banks, funds, and corporations.
The KKE's demands include the abolition of the current legislative framework established by the ND, SYRIZA, and PASOK governments. Additionally, the party is calling for the return of homes to families that were transferred to servicers and funds through abusive practices.
Other proposals from the KKE include the establishment of a state-funded social housing program, the reinstatement of the Workers' Housing Organization, the construction of student dormitories, and the utilization of state-owned properties to address housing needs.
