« We gave ourselves a deadline of fifteen days. If we cannot reach them, we will switch to requisition» announces Céline Deslattes, a passionaria of the municipal majority (Greens/LFI) when speaking of the requisition of private housing. (Place Gre’Net) Grenoble owners are once again threatened, stigmatized after having been robbed of the lowest property value in large cities, the highest property tax, rent control and the “rental license” implemented in certain neighborhoods (including Alsace Lorraine!) that Laurence Ruffin would extend to the entire city if she were elected.
Let’s add the new neighborhoods, or with “solidarity land”, the new apartment buyers are no longer owners of the land and can no longer make a profit on the sale of their apartment! The refusal of social promotion is institutionalized.
THE RED/GREEN BID, NPA and LFI ON THE BACKS OF THE OWNERS
But the divided outgoing majority is outbidding itself because it is under pressure from the NPA and LFI. The first locks the DAL which was still organizing a demonstration in front of the town hall on Wednesday. It doesn’t matter how thin the troops are, including Allan Brunon, the LFI candidate for mayor. The municipality which refuses to listen to the hundreds of residents and traders who demonstrate against certain developments (Place de Metz, Jeanne d’Arc, Berriat…) is on its knees in front of the DAL.
L.RUFFIN DOES NOT WANT TO ABANDON THE GROUND OF THE EXTREME LEFT
Besides ” At the end of the meeting, the representatives of the collective said they were generally satisfied” reports Joël Kermabon (Place Gre’Net). The unfortunate people looking for accommodation are not the cause, but the competition on the far left. Laurence Ruffin does not want to abandon this ground. For what we know about the real estate behavior of the Piolle candidate or Céline Deslattes, it does not seem that these good intentions concern them!
THE SILENCE OF THE OPERATORS IS DEEARING
It is therefore not excluded that, within the framework of the municipal campaign, Grenoble property owners will be the first victims of this political overbidding. We are always surprised by the silence of the FNAIM, the Owners’ Union and all the developers who sell housing to buyers who have been robbed in this way. They are the ones who should be in front of city hall protesting.
THOUSANDS OF EMPTY HOUSING IN THE SOCIAL Sector
The Tartufferie is at its height since neither the DAL, nor LFI, nor the municipality mention the thousands of empty housing units in the social housing stock managed… by the majority elected officials. Of the 6,612 empty homes in Grenoble – a national record – around half are HLMs that MM Klauss Habfsat and Pierre Bejjaji, elected representatives of the Piolle group and Presidents of Grenoble-Habitat and Actis could allocate!
REQUISITION EMPTY SOCIAL HOUSING FIRST!
In certain neighborhoods, housing vacancy exceeds 30%! The collective “Réconcilier Grenoble” led by Clément Chappet did not fail to point this out by asking “to the elected representatives of the majority who preside over Actis and Grenoble-Habitat to first requisition the hundreds of empty housing units in the social housing stock before further attacking owners whose property value is already the lowest in large cities.
HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY THAT FAMILIES SLEEP IN SCHOOLS?
Speaking at the same time as this event, Joël Kermabon said, presenting the position of “Reconciling Grenoble”, that “ the gathering did not escape political exploitation. “ While the NPA flag and Allan Brunon alongside the DAL escape any idea of recovery and have no connection with the political struggle on the left.
Yet how can we justify families sleeping in schools when the Actis Board of Directors, chaired by Pierre Bejjaji, recognized in its own report more than 700 empty homes at the end of 2024? That the green shutters at the abbey entrusted to a developer will remain empty for years to come? That the municipality has empty buildings (rue jay) and villas (rue Argouges, cours Berriat)? Why doesn’t the DAL occupy them?
GRENOBLE: THE MIDDLE CLASS CRUSHED FROM ALL ENDS
The tartuffery is at its height and it should see developments in the coming weeks because this subject creates competition between the fractions of the left. The unfortunate people who flee poverty are as much the victims as the Grenoble middle class, crushed at all ends. Even in the media now!
The question is whether she will continue to bow her head when there is no longer any avoidance strategy for her. Either it sells at a loss, or it suffers from tax increases, regulations and threats of requisitions.
“Stop” or “again” is the real vote next March.
The mobilization of those who have worked to benefit from something, even modest, should be intense in Grenoble. The financial and ideological trajectory carried by Laurence Ruffin and Allan Brunon is exposed, clear, and brooks no ambiguity. It is general impoverishment, which has started well, verified by all the factual data on the city’s poverty rates. Combined with a new city/Metro tax bludgeoning.
“Stop” or “again” is the real vote next March.
