On the 20th May 2018, 10 houses were occupied in Berlin and the neighbour city Potsdam. Despite positive feedback by neighbours and the public (aka media), all houses were violently evicted that same day. Despite promises concerning housing, the „left“ government had the police evict houses and beat up people. The protection of private property was yet again put above the right to housing and the right to physical integrity. Nonetheless, the occupations were not just legitimate but necessary. More than half of Berlin‘s population finds occupations legitimate. The need for space to housing and living however, remains.
Normalising #occupations
We will #occupy again.
