To protect
The squatters still want to prevent the eviction through legal proceedings. “Stand by, keep an eye on our social media, we’ll keep you posted.” They write that they need support in the coming days.”
SP party chairman Erik Flentge is not happy with the eviction. “A bad thing. Big money and speculators don’t care about the enormous housing shortage and know that they are supported by the law.”
