00:08Les loyers flambent, les prix de l'immobilier explosent,
00:11se loger à un prix abordable et dans des conditions décentes
00:14est devenu une gageure pour des millions d'Européens.
00:18Une crise qui frappe de plein fouet l'Espagne, comme ici à Barcelone.
00:22La surenchère, des locations de courte durée
00:25et la spéculation prive de plus en plus d'habitants de logements.
00:29Une question dont se sont emparées les autorités espagnoles
00:32et qui est aussi à l'agenda de l'Union Européenne.
00:42L'accès au logement est un défi majeur pour de nombreux Européens.
00:46Depuis 2010, les prix des logements ont bondi en moyenne
00:50de plus de 50% dans l'Union Européenne et les loyers de 26%.
00:55Une flambée due à l'offre insuffisante et au prix élevé du secteur de la construction,
01:01mais aussi à l'explosion des locations de courte durée.
01:04La spéculation immobilière, notamment des investisseurs étrangers,
01:09ne fait qu'aggraver la pénurie de logements.
01:12L'Espagne est l'un des pays les plus touchés.
01:15Les loyers y ont augmenté en moyenne de près de 80% en 10 ans.
01:20Pour endiguer le phénomène, le gouvernement veut faire retirer 65 000 annonces Airbnb
01:26et augmenter les taxes sur les achats immobiliers des ressortissants non européens.
01:31Ils peinent par ailleurs à faire appliquer une loi plafonnant les prix locatifs.
01:35Bien que le logement soit une compétence nationale, les institutions européennes veulent réagir.
01:42Un commissaire européen au logement a été nommé
01:45et le Parlement européen s'est doté d'une commission sur la question.
01:49Objectif, lancer un plan européen pour le logement abordable.
01:54Une urgence, tandis que la colère monte à travers l'Europe.
01:58Je suis à Barcelone où des manifestations comme celles qui se trouvent derrière moi
02:11sont de plus en plus fréquentes.
02:13La capitale de Catalogne est l'une des destinations les plus prisées des touristes
02:17mais aussi des spéculateurs immobiliers.
02:19Résultat de plus en plus d'habitants s'est poussé hors de chez eux
02:23et ils n'entendent plus sur les secteurs.
02:26Résultat de plus en plus d'habitants.
02:30La Barcelona se convient en une ville bien de tourisme.
02:34Les alquileres sont absolument désbordés.
02:38Rosario fait partie du réseau de syndicats de locataires
02:43qui se mobilisent dans tout le pays pour revendiquer leur droit au logement.
02:47Ils sont venus de fonds de investissement qui comprennent des édificiers
02:55pour spéculer, pour faire un co-living.
02:58Ils nous echaient à tous.
02:59Rosario is invited to her tomorrow morning, in this building built in 4 years ago by the
03:06Vendor Group, from a British investment fund, Patron Capital.
03:29Vendor wants to remove this, my house, and everything I'm doing here.
03:42All the old residents of the building have been forced to leave in terms of their location.
03:47The apartments are now occupied by foreign students.
03:52There are 5 floors, on each floor there are 2 apartments, which are used as a living.
03:59The location of Rosario has expired a year and a half, but she refuses to leave.
04:05The property, also insisting and trying to convince myself to leave.
04:11They proposed to give me a small indemnization, and I looked at how the market was.
04:16The buildings that there were were little and very expensive.
04:20They were completely disorbitated.
04:23In proceeding with the company, who she continues to sell her property,
04:27Rosario is afraid of expulsion.
04:30But she wants to continue to fight.
04:32They have to stop, that they buy massively, as they buy the buildings,
04:38as if they buy a bagel.
04:41Now they are very enriching, because of the people.
04:46This is an absolute bomb bomb.
04:48There are a lot of people on the street.
04:50The only one who can do something is the syndicates.
04:54By the syndicates and locators of Barcelona, the resistance is organized.
05:01Every week, Rosario takes part of the reunion
05:04that holds the inhabitants of other buildings
05:06bought by the investment fund.
05:08The objective is to avoid expulsion
05:10and push the public power to act.
05:13It's a very big issue,
05:14and we can't be able to do it to the public.
05:15There are no issues.
05:16There's no equal protection on the right to the housing.
05:17The problem is,
05:18the problem is to be able to do it.
05:19The problem is to support people
05:20because we don't know
05:21as soon as you can live here.
05:23If we are going to stay in the future.
05:25We will have to do it.
05:26We will have to do it.
05:27There is a lot of good protection
05:28to be able to defend that.
05:29and ask the institutions to protect us in front of this massive speculation.
05:36Bandor is a great company, but we are also in our way.
05:42It's fundamental to join us, join forces, and to be stronger.
05:50What can the national and european power to end the crisis of housing?
05:55I have asked the mayor of Barcelona,
05:57initiator of a project in this sense,
05:59regrouping 15 big cities in Europe.
06:02What we have started to do in Spain,
06:04and the cities that we wanted to welcome to that measure,
06:08is regulation to put topes in the increase of the price of the goods.
06:13In the city of Barcelona, in these moments,
06:15there has been a low rate of 8% of the prices,
06:18and another great second measure is the decision
06:21to eliminate the Airbnb parking lot from November of 2028.
06:27And that means 10,000 houses that return to residencial use in the city of Barcelona.
06:33In Catalonia, it's about to regulate the temporary floors,
06:37so that they also have the same regulation of the top of prices,
06:41and that has a first consequence for investors,
06:44which is that the rentability is low.
06:46That's a disincentive.
06:48You are leading an initiative by several European mayors,
06:52and asking the EU for help.
06:54Housing is a national competence,
06:56so what can you expect from Europe?
06:58It's a European problem.
06:59It's a European problem.
07:00The European Commission has to intervene.
07:03The cities of Mayors for Housing, we are saying,
07:06put resources to the cities in an urgent way,
07:12so that we can invest in affordable housing.
07:15Housing has to be a central policy of cohesion
07:19of the European Union in this new period.
07:22They should be outside the limits of the rule of the European Union
07:26because it's an emergency.
07:28If the European citizens see that a problem of this magnitude
07:33is not addressed by the European institutions,
07:37it can be added to a legitimacy of legitimacy.
07:40So it's not only a measure of social character,
07:43but also a measure of democracy and the European project.
