Dur­ing the last week a lot has hap­pend. On the 13th of Novem­ber the police start­ed to evict the camp area near the hole. It took till sat­ur­day 17th ear­ly in the morn­ing to get out the last peo­ple.

There was some atten­tion localy and in the whole press and TV in this lan­guage zone. On a press con­fer­ence we gave on the 19th of Novem­ber we anounced the we have since squat­ted for qui­et a while anoth­er area. South of the for­est. So we wern’t real­ly com­plet­ly evict­ed and resquat­ted inside a week:) On Wedns­day 21th of Novem­ber police came to evict this new area, but did­nt have any paper work, it hap­pend that the own­er of the area came to see his land , dur­ing this police action.

He was tak­en into cus­tody by police, this result­ed in pret­ty bad press for the police 🙂 It seems he got angry with the police and RWE as a result of this and does­nt want to evict us from his ground.

These days its windy and secu­ri­ty cars are going in the neig­bour­hood, there are even more peo­ple sup­port­ing, and more would be wel­come.

Squat more. Resist here and every­where.

Any time they hit us we come back much stronger 🙂
