Video | Europe is looking for an apartment to live in | International

The housing market in Europe is suffocating. The construction of apartments is not enough for the needs of the population and the causes are multiple: the high costs of materials, the growth in registrations of tourist apartments and the increase in migration in the last year. The situation has caused European governments to take urgent measures to try to stop the trickle of effects of the housing crisis. In France, for example, a plan was applied in June that includes mortgage relief or the extension of tax collection until 2027.
This is the main report of the new installment of ARTE Europa Semanal, the informative program produced by Arte that EL PAÍS broadcasts every week and which can be seen in the video of this news item. The episode makes a detailed analysis of the case of the Netherlands, where the housing situation has become one of the central axes of the election campaign being held this Sunday. The market is missing about 400,000 homes, which has exponentially increased rental prices and forced citizens, especially young people, to find alternative ways to live.
