Marine Le Pen vows to scrap SRU law and prioritize French access to social housing

At her traditional rentrée address in Hénin-Beaumont, Marine Le Pen presented housing as a central pillar of her five-year agenda, promising to give French citizens priority in accessing social housing. She announced the intention to repeal the SRU law, which requires municipalities above a certain size to allocate a minimum percentage of social housing units. Le Pen described national priority as a fundamental and just principle, especially concerning the growing difficulty many French face in finding homes.

While the RN has long opposed the SRU law, its explicit removal now appears in the party’s presidential program. The speech emphasized the RN’s broader focus on “national priority” across policy areas.
