Squatting banned in NL

krakengaatdoor | 15.10.2009 22:47 | Free Spaces | Repression | World

A blend of right wingers and christian democrats have managed to push through a ban on squatting, instead of a ban on emptiness. How fuckt up is that?

Squatting has been banned in the Netherlands. Fuck know what this means in practise for the thousands of established squats.

The vote passed today in the Tweede Kamer (House of Commons) and will no doubt be ratified by the Eerste Kamer (House of Lords equivalent).

80-100 squatters have been arrested already in Den Haag outside the Parliament.

It could get a lot more heavy.

While the Parliament of The Netherlands was voting, outside there was a protest of many hundreds of squatters and symphatizers.

They set up a camp of tents at the square in front of Parliament, but after 9 PM they were all removed with much police violence. Around 80 to 100 people were arrested.

What's happening to Dutch tolerance?

17.10.2009 07:09

What's going on in the Netherlands these last few years? It seems that all the tolerance that the country was famous and respected for is being eroded bit by bit. Not just the Coffee Shops and the red light districts, but society in general and now even the squatters :-(

What's become of the spirit of the Provos and the Kaboteurs?

Denmark also

It also seems that Denmark, famous for it's "liberal tolerance", has been going fast forward towards open fascism.
