Guillaume Kasbarian, bearer of an anti-squat law, triggered a wave of indignation on the left and concern in social housing circles and solidarity associations. The elected representative of Eure-et-Loir was appointed Thursday after a month without a minister specifically responsible for Housing.
His appointment to the Ministry of Housing marks a clear shift to the right, he whose main achievement in terms of housing is to have adopted, in 2023, a law toughening penalties against squatters.
