8:22 pm
a clothing outlet. one floor up. this is everything offrey declines. i did, we get our clothes from collections that we do regularly. i'm kind of simple comment on we also created this workshop to provide jobs. oh lord, it's a push have to get alexander's team is helping josie. rodriguez find a sweater pants and a cap it is under says last summer. josie left his home country of portugal to come here with big hopes for the same reason. but i got the, i want it to work here, but there are hardly any jobs, something from what kind of work do you want at, but construction so, but there's nothing to do right now. no, i don't know. he knows he'd be doing far worse. if it weren't for voice of the street, he can't afford an apartment and is currently sleeping in
8:23 pm
a shelter located above a center for drug addiction. m a e commerce, uh, in the new luxembourg is a rich countries, but that doesn't guarantee your work divide. you go, things are going downhill with the construction sector. so and if you don't have an address like me, but then you get practically 0 help from the state. no, no, no is your worst case. i'll go back to portugal when the construction industry was booming. here people actually say we're in big demand now like many others, he's falling through the cracks. poverty and luxembourg is becoming increasingly visible. at the same time, the country tops the european g. d p. rankings. in 2022 looks and burgers earned an average of 119230 years. in germany, the figure was 46150, and in france 38590 euros. the
8:24 pm
young exhorts is a painter and decorator in a similar situation too. shows a he's out of work to qualify for welfare. presidents have to be $25.00 piece 20 to the lowest time tape solid. it's getting difficult to find anything these days. there are more and more foreigners coming in mind comb a job and they get everything blown up. they're starting to break smokers in luxembourg. those are left to get by on their own work. done the platform. let me live and fuck, there are a lot of french people coming over to work because they don't earn as much back home if you for the in the game down and they get jobs in places less than burgers . don't stand a chance. initials, they were basically less out in the cold, and they get to have a nice light is close, and then the most quiet sleep. so,
8:25 pm
besides what zyden, they take care of the foreigners, but not us. you know, and that's why i say lots and burgers have been left high and dry and we can look as much as we want, but we won't find anything to do. next. no. janik is angry about increasing competition on the job market is going to present just again, i'm the kind of person who likes working off. i don't want to live off the stage often. so if i'm offered a job as a heating technician or a tyler and then i'll do it, i truly go dogs, please leave on the i'll even if i don't have any experience, as long as you can pay me some of those skills. janik isn't the only one who feels this way. many people on the street feel disadvantaged groups to be entered in the time the government at their eyes opened and provided full housing benefits on the escape guns to the guy. you have all these immigrants being welcomed with open arms,
8:26 pm
and you don't have to be perfectly honest. our government doesn't give a damn about lots of murders or beginning exams that actual but they don't really do anything for us. the stuff they're doing since becoming unemployed. younique's like the to hon, gary and stuff on and fans has been making his way to alexandra soup kitchen every lunch time where he can get a hot meal for 50 cents. and one floor off in the same building. the voice of the streets, very own newspaper team or working on their next edition. another little enterprise designed to give people like search coupler, a path back to work almost like it was good at 1st i go, i don't know how am i supposed to start writing articles. so i got down to it and started writing. the balance is at 1st at home and by hand. want to give another. so the editor was really impressed with
8:27 pm
a lot of the stuff. and then they sent me down at the computer over there. and i started writing should the street paper covers a range of issues from conservative politicians, demanding a ban on begging to renewable energy. sash himself mainly writes about the housing shortage with tips from editor in chief. so it was like brown. while the some of this, this is leticia a piece on it's a nice that traditional media don't cover and putting some engine on this was kind of, we're in touch with people in the problems which we learned about 1st time. and hopefully in the soon, the 6 as long as the henry reports and the language, the same people understand with their priorities in mind, to do it. there's question on within that's our strengths. and as we hung up this, we are the voice of the street is in such a shipment of costs. sailors and his colleague mary, lend. fudge are both welfare recipients. they know from personal experience what it
8:28 pm
means to be the hor, and the grand duchy of luxembourg. this the last it's shown it is tough when you don't have any money, but you can call people who do have money, can afford everything they want to keep in mind. but if you don't, it's difficult to get by with the community. and by that's cool. the on the bus escapes on, it's not as if there's one group with everyone sticking together like no, look if you have the red line and the poor. and there's a big divide. the spice of books to distribute the street newspaper to subscribers here in the wealthy old town area of luxembourg city like the ministry of culture stem informed us plus with the newspapers from savage and larry lands perspective. there's something rotten behind the sleek facade. they want the government to take action against the rising
8:29 pm
hardship in 202219.4 percent of the population face poverty or social exclusion. the sounds believes the most pressing issue is the housing market crisis. he himself has chronic inflammatory back pain and is no longer fully fit to work. and he is also suffering from the aftermath of a sales marriage. enough to shy do, i was married for 16 years, destiny. and when we got divorced on this dispute, i had to leave our apartment to help this. do you kind of what the law here says that the husband has to go? because you see it out because that's the fun comes to among liskey. because he is someone who lives on social benefits known as a ready in luxembourg. it's been difficult for him to find an apartment a month on
8:30 pm
testers, place the conversation started out really relaxed as clicking i thought, when i said where i worked and what i earned and that's technically the mood suddenly changed. it is easy then the guy said no, the least because rabies are considered anti social or too lazy to work, isn't to following solve it. and so i can see them at the same time. so i was just neighborhood has become increasingly help and increasingly expensive. the federal can here, they wants to turn this into a luxury neighborhood. there are apartments being built where you'll soon be paying 800000 euros for 35 square meter to him flat a little too often to the house, but it's far too expensive. here to tell you this tiny room is sounds as home manjeet. as you can see, it's pretty humble that there is what i survive on. the microwave of that, to me go over to his 18 year old son,
8:31 pm
sleeps on the couch across the room. and this shares, single room apartment doesn't come cheap. this was he is living with a bunch of design paying $770.00 euro is for 20 square meters or something. i don't even have a kitchen because it's a good thing. i get along with my ex egg with 50 so i can cook. it hurts sometimes . otherwise you'll get to just be bachelors, meals, microwave or can't or that some of the time because i don't know said it was interesting. so if you my mad at the government's because they don't do anything, they do a lot of talking like spending 210000000 on new apartments who have a who, but where are they? a diesel history to others. there's so many vague and places and so there's dancer, it's been able to, i've registered for apartments all over the place, but nothing happens. p bucks in the private market is out of the question,
8:32 pm
does use my dish for alexandra. the housing shortage is an explosive issue. that could divide luxembourg society even more, but she's determined to do something about it for years. so see all in just had been comparing it to a ticking time bomb. a situation that politicians have been ignoring for far too long. says antoine paku, an expert on the housing market in luxembourg. he says the main problem is an extreme concentration of land ownership and related real estate speculation, price of land and the price of flats over time. so if i can not, this is almost, it isn't offline for housing sitting here behind acceptance owned by a small portion of the population on. that's great. on the truth. our studies show that 0.5 percent of luck, some burgers on 50 percent of the building land. also to get off the alternately,
8:33 pm
or about 3000 wealthy families who have inherited these extremely valuable properties. all calls to be on a post. if i'm, you know, they have no interest in the building, housing fix. yeah, yeah, i'm on that off. i mean, i said, of general questions. you mentioned the dynamic economic development means printer properties will increase in value by 5 or 10 percent a year anyway. of all deciding c set deep all over the last 8 years. property prices have sort by 74 percent and rents by 41 percent. recently the government has started to build affordable social housing. it's a policy change that's come far too late, says antoine pet cool. so at the moment the luxemburg, only 2 percent of the housing in the country is affordable. housing. so this,
8:34 pm
this is extremely low for, for standards of europe, especially for neighboring countries. who have, you know, been investing of this kind of housing for the last 100 years. luxembourg is starting extremely late and from an extremely low level. so ideally, we should get this sector up to 152025 percent. he wants to see people like savage janik and she has a spirit, the consequences of outdated policy. patrick claim on can also speak from experience. she spent 5 years on the streets and apartment was the luxury he couldn't afford. but patrick got lucky. he pays a relatively modest $580.00 euros a month for an apartment, including a kitchen, bathroom and basement. a subsidized flat, provided by alexandra is organization. kept me
8:35 pm
guessing trustworthy. i couldn't cope with the situation. i was in at the time and got involved with drugs and others, but clear cuts help from alexandra and stem phone dish to us. and of course, they said you're not an idiot. ok. and it's not too late to make something up. your life comes. that's my last i'm named vendor yet otherwise you'll never get out of this vicious cycle. and if it applies these metals. patrick's hard to began when his ex girlfriend died in a tragic accident. this was followed by alcohol, cocaine, inherently abuse, is 5 sick amount. i wasn't adding especially to what you might not notice now is that i was deep into drugs to because of my ex has death shop, the executive team in the middle of this process. i went through a lot of things on the street. start give some info and then there was this place you could go and you were told just you're in good hands. it comes with you and there's someone who will listen to you. i'm yet. patrick's been clean for 14 years and now spends his afternoons working for the voice of the street
8:36 pm
pointed without them i'd still be on the street or rather i wouldn't be here and i'm grateful for their help difficulties. the voice of the street also runs this laundry and has a working arrangements with a major supermarket chain. again, we pick up fruits and vegetables, everything and bring it here. and once we've checked it, we distributed among various groups of toner. every day, michelle con. righty drives to the biggest supermarket in luxembourg. it's located in the wealthy business district of the capital's carriage bound area to collect food right before it expires with the help of volunteers.
8:37 pm
mendoza. i'm retired and used to be in charge of environmental issues at the store . it don't really care about sustainability and social issues. we can't allow food to end up in the trash the, the, it's better to donate it to people in the sun. you know, this was the don't maybe put this in in when i was a manager here because this guy always told alexandra that when i retired, i'd help out as a volunteer the big one adviser, most young guys and that's how i ended up inch. demons on this task, simple this list, they need volunteers. and this is my way of making a small contribution. to ask you spell, they put the trouble cut off the
8:38 pm
food recycling system, which insures the coal chain is maintained was introduced by de luca, your voice. if the street is largely funded by tax payers with donations are also important. a group of managers from the big retail company has just arrived for a visit. i need to focus people. okay. and let's go, that's good for these visitors, have donated a vacuum ceiling machine and are thinking about becoming more involved as they'll pick up to get the funds on the 14 tulsa food amanda duncan. that's how bad
8:39 pm
it to 14 tons that don't get thrown away. and get used in our soup kitchens. they make 800 meals a day across the country. and they'll say this to all. the kitchens are stuffed by people who used to be unemployed. a lot of them are refugees, like how soon do the me and get out to use those guys from the side. some headed up to 2015 from the director. you want to can some companies here. they learned the skills that will prepare them for the local job market. one story above alexandra is reading some disturbing news. initially will never succeed with that. and they tried it last time. no way. 9 people come
8:40 pm
to the store. the government has passed a band on begging to beaten britain, been disabled, and zip if it's banned, empty. lots of people will be forced into a life of crime with a company with the sale. if the shifting the problem somewhere else and the, the pin the what else would i didn't do, but we'll still see the people either at gas stations or in supermarkets. but what they're really saying is, we don't want poor people in the old town where the rich people are just you high school or to of. how does that call me for? i feel like don quixote fighting when mills comes. i've gotten used to this over the last 25 years. yeah. but we've never had this many people before. what type is a sophie? we need funding to be able to function with the comments on like the colors the next day. alexandra has a couple of very high profile visitors, arriving for the voice at the streets end of year celebration.

the grand duke and his wife the head of state, face to face with people who are unemployed, living in poverty and with addiction. for alexandra, it's the most important and symbolic moment of the year. 400 people in need had gathered here more than any previous year. d g and other volunteers are on hand to serve the food and drinks that's there so it's pretty, pretty secure. i will not be since he cannot be passed. so then i'm for me personally, we don't pay these people enough attention. he will not and don't talk about them enough to be sure we have a lot of volunteers, but there aren't enough people. we need to do more
8:42 pm
the grand duke of the takes a seat at the 1st table right across from janik. the. he's eager to tell the monarch about things from his perspective. property prizes used to be lower and now they just keep on going up. yes, i suppose the housing market is a huge problem. y'alls, none of the corners get more than lux inverters. i don't think that's right. and i told him that i also said, i hope things change here is obviously just because it can go on like this. people the nick is angry or at immigrants, then the government even though it's the government that hasn't done anything about the whitening gulf between the rich and the poor,
8:43 pm
the minister of social security is also one of the guests. what does she have to say about the housing shortage? it's economic under the law of supply and demand on this email, it doesn't always work out on its own. so you need initiatives to regulate the market. so they have, they've been successful. not yet. alexandra says that imposing a ban on bagging is finding the poor instead of fighting poverty. here in the wealthiest country in europe, the police said guns that almost the gun since, but of course luxembourg can't eliminate poverty around the world. i know that but i'm not a politician. besides, i try to help people who are in a bad place and yeah, and if we lock some burgers aren't able to help people who are suffering then which country can kind of
