Saliha Raïss
I am fully committed to affordable housing. Access to affordable and quality housing is a matter of social justice. It ensures that people with different income levels have equal opportunities for living in dignified conditions, regardless of their financial capabilities.
In addition, I see education as the place for jumpstarting opportunities. By promoting inclusive education, where diversity is embraced and appropriate support is provided to all students, we contribute to a society where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential.
