Available until 20/02/2025 #luxembourg #poverty #arte With a GDP per capita twice that of Germany, Luxembourg is considered an island of prosperity in Europe. A coin that has its downside. Every day, Alexandra Oxacelay helps the homeless and the poor of the Grand Duchy. Her NGO's soup kitchens welcome more and more people, victims of inflation, the housing crisis or immigrants. Among them, Stephan, from Hungary, who has been living in a tent for seven years - winters included. Suffering from chronic back pain, Serge has been unable to obtain affordable housing due to the drastic increase in rents. A crisis that researcher Antoine Paccoud explains by intense real estate speculation and by the fact that the State launched a social housing policy too late. This explosion of poverty threatens social cohesion. Unemployed, Yannick feels abandoned by political decision-makers. He advocates for a limitation of immigration. For her part, Alexandra Oxacelay does not want to make a distinction between the beneficiaries of her NGO's action. According to her, in the richest country in Europe, everyone must be helped.
