Kassélákis Calls for State Intervention in Housing for Teachers: A Teacher in Rhodes Forced to Live in His Car

Stefanos Kassélákis, president of SYRIZA, has called for the Greek state to take responsibility for providing housing for teachers, particularly in remote and tourist-heavy areas. His statement follows the case of a teacher in Rhodes who was forced to live in his car due to the lack of affordable housing. Kassélákis expressed pride in the community support that ultimately provided a solution for the teacher’s situation but emphasized that this should not be the norm. He highlighted SYRIZA’s proposed housing program specifically for educators, security personnel, and members of the Armed Forces in island and border regions, a program he claims is ignored by the media.
