Here is the platform of demands of 62 proposals released March 2, 2009 by COSPAR. On 5 March, the Reunion will gather by the thousands to advance these claims for employment, higher purchasing power and housing.
PREAMBLE
The exasperation of the population of Reunion is justified by a beam of objective factors that contribute to a deterioration of purchasing power and living conditions of our citizens. Pricing, we see that over the period 1997 to 2007, prices in Reunion increased by 37%, while at the same time, they increased by only 30% in the Hexagon. Tax exemption policies have resulted in a slowdown of wages. The state has its share of responsibilities, including setting the minimum wage and aid policies.
52% of the population below the poverty line, against 18% in metropolitan
50% of the population in 2006 had an income below 690 euros
10% of the lowest incomes were lower in 2006 to 390 euros.
There is also an unacceptable wage inequality between men and women: a worker Reunion earns on average 90% of the salary of her male counterpart.

HOUSING
In Reunion, the situation is as follows:
Households: 257,000 households Reunion
Park in the Private Rental: 56,000
Social housing stock: 49,673
Recipients of Housing Benefit: 86900 Amount: 242 million euros
Requests for accommodations outstanding: 26,000
Housing needs:
New housing to include: 7500 year
To eliminate substandard housing: 20,000
Housing to be rehabilitated: NC
The production of social housing faces a stronger political and ambitious. The accommodation must be managed as a public service.
In Reunion, there is inadequate production of the supply and demand not to mention the territorial imbalance.
The housing policy does not stop with the stone, it also concerns aid to people.
80% of the meetings are eligible for social housing.
The rate of effort for Reunion housing applicants are becoming more and more unbearable, they abnormally increase and reach levels exceeding 30% per household.
They are excluded from social housing applicants who are in situations of no return.
Public intervention must take its share of responsibility.
This is part of the fight against exclusion.
It is time to take into account the realities and tragedies that affect thousands of meetings, all social groups, young and elderly.
What dignity for human beings homeless, forced to live in substandard housing, to live in overcrowded housing in totally unsuitable, broken lives, children without markers.
We do not want that meeting for our children. It is time for change! To do this, the government must engage in a fast and sustainable additional funding in devices adapted to our Department.
