The Act on Affordable Housing should have responded more strongly to the main problem - the lack of apartments. Instead of binding solutions for faster issuance of permits, more construction, renovation, and mobilizing investments, we unfortunately received a Regulation that introduces the possibility of restricting the purchase or use of another property. It is unacceptable to penalize citizens who have invested their savings in the purchase of another property. The European Charter of Fundamental Rights guarantees all our citizens the right to ownership of lawfully acquired property. Unfortunately, the Act on Affordable Housing calls this fundamental right into question. If we want to resolve the housing crisis, we must enable more construction to happen, faster and easier. Croatian MEP Nikolina Brnjac (EPP/HDZ) pointed out as the most problematic part of the Commission's proposal the possibility of introducing restrictions related to the purchase or use of another property, emphasizing that such a measure "has not been requested, has not been announced, and is not acceptable." #priuštivoStanovanje #stambenaKrizа #kratkoročniNajam (translated)
