The council is due to formally accept the guidelines on its meeting on December 13th this year. The mayor stated that she hasn't given in to the violence and riots - "It is not in the interests of this city to assume a rigid position on a group of youths who are now trying hard for a dialogue with the council", she said. This despite her previous unrelenting and uncompromising crusade against Ungdomshuset and its activists.
Despite the council meetings and common guidelines issues still remain, not the least of which is the selection of an actual house. "Until there is a concrete address we won't believe anything", an activist spokesperson said after the last meeting.
Also several other issues remain. On the subject of the running of the house the mayor and the mediator said "The house is basically open to any and all young people." However a member of the activist negotiation group stressed that that means "all young people who can agree with the basic principles of the house".
