No more property rights? Deputy Minister of the Left announces taxation of unused housing

The co-director in Poland Lewica intends to gradually kick the Polish people out of their heads "pumped for 30 years" by the law of sovereign property. The deputy minister of improvement and technology Tomasz Lewandowski said about plans to taxation unused dwellings, alleged deserts.

An interview with a associate of Donald Tusk's government, leading for Onet, referred to the Laconic speech of the leader of the Left. Włodzimierz Czarzasty during the Krakow convention of his group – held under the eloquent slogan “Landing by law and not by goods”, said: “ I announce this without details, but I announce: The Left will submit a task to usage 2 million vacants in Poland so that they are happy and owners of apartments and that those who rent these apartments are happy. Perhaps a dry communist here referred to a mocking slogan promoted for respective years by the WEF planet economical Forum: "You will have nothing and you will be happy."

Deputy Minister Lewandowski commented on the words of erstwhile PZPR activist: – The agreement will be discussed with local governments, due to the fact that this is different from the erstwhile government, that we know that specified things and detailed solutions request to be consulted with partners in local governments.

– The thought is that the government or parliament should make a law that allows local governments to introduce an empty state tax. Local government – for example, the capital city of Warsaw or Krakow – which sees that there is simply a problem in the housing market, in the rental market, and sees that we have quite a few emptyness, puts this dam and introduces a tax, frequently point, not necessarily throughout the city – He explained.

The taxation proposed by the Left would, according to the Deputy Minister, ‘the owner, who, for example, speculatively, playing to increase the value of the property, keeps specified a place empty for respective years, does not rent it’.

– specified solutions already be in the UK, the Netherlands... In France, for example, it is that if the owner keeps the premises empty for 12 months, then the city can simply accept the place to its state and hire the individual from the waiting list – translated Lewandowski.

At this point, the politician of the Left decided to act as a “good policeman” or alternatively a militiaman. He argued that Spanish government allowing chaotic tenants to occupy homes or apartments abandoned for at least a fewer twelve hours.

– That's what I'm talking about, and that's a voice to the owners, too, so that they don't get to the wall like in Barcelona, for example, where we have this celebrated "ocupados" law, and so – you see a free place, you take it. We gotta meet somewhere in the middle, due to the fact that if we don't introduce any solutions in this housing market, then populists, people who don't care about the law will come after us, and they'll introduce specified a law. So we propose solutions that are applied in the West – stressed.

– If we have 2 million vacants, then if even 100, 200, 300 000 housing units hit the market, there will be lower rent, another tenant position – added.

The interviewing writer Onetu tried to bring the discussion to a reasonable framework. He pointed out the critical comments relating to Blacksmith's statements – not specific, but already signaling an impulse against the right to private possession.

– If I buy an flat and have it, for example, for my kid or for my parents or anyone else, then the state should not interfere with my property. He was.

However, the Deputy Minister decided to rise his answer to the heights of Bareism:

– All right, if you have a lot and you dig a gap in there and you want to drive – due to the fact that it pays you – and store waste there, is that your freedom, too? – Tomasz Lewandowski asked.

– The point is that for 30 years we pump people's heads, that this flat is sacred, that property ownership does not affect another obligations... In the real property marketplace of this country, it is precisely the policy of the government to regulate these things. If this marketplace is uncivilized all the time, these prices are going to go crazy, then at the end of the day the costs will be yours due to the fact that this flat will gotta rent a nurse, a teacher, individual who drives us waste. If they cannot rent apartments in Warsaw at average prices, who will have a problem: the owner of the flat or the public authority? – Deputy Minister of the Left said.
