Labour party presents €50 billion coronavirus rescue plan

NL Times  

PvdA leader Lodewijk Asscher presented his own plan for what a third round of coronavirus support should look like, consisting of 50 billion euros in short- and long-term investments. The government has been promising structural investments for some time, "but has mainly been arguing about the name of the fund," the PvdA leader said to NOS.

The party wants to make 10 thousand euros available for each additional home built on top of the existing plans, and to push extra money into making 400 thousand rental homes more sustainable.
