KKE opposition to Greek housing auctions

Overview

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has intensified its opposition to current housing policies, specifically targeting the auctioning of primary residences and foreclosures. Dimitris Koutsoumpas, General Secretary of the KKE, called for immediate legislative protection for homes and an end to a system he claims treats housing as a commodity for the benefit of banks and corporations.

KKE demands include the abolition of existing legislative frameworks, the return of homes transferred to servicers through abusive practices, and the establishment of state-funded social housing.

Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos, a KKE Member of the European Parliament, further advocated for a total ban on the auctioning of primary residences and professional housing for the self-employed. He attributed the recent withdrawal of a regulation that would have allowed debt servicers to demand 15% of debts through out-of-court settlements to public protests and parliamentary interventions.
