From René Repasi

René Repasi leads the group of German SPD MEPs in the European Parliament.

René Repasi, head of the German SPD group in the European Parliament, is calling for EU funds to boost housing construction. In his position, he also explains what social democrats expect from Ursula von der Leyen for her new Commission to receive their votes.

The cornerstone for a central new task of European social policy was placed in the Belgian city of Liège in March. Trade ministers and senior officials from 19 European countries signed the „Liège Declaration on Affordable Housing in the EU.“ Commission President von der Leyen pledged the EU Commission’s commitment in her candidacy speech. The re-elected Commission President will present the areas of responsibility of the 27-member college in the next few days.
