afgelopen nacht is (superslecht leesbaar) het volgende stukje in het alternatieve utrechtse nieuwsblad verschenen... tja het is in het engels, en gezien eerdere vertalingen geen denderend meesterwerk waren, nu maar in de originele taal getikt. REPORT ON THE SQUATTING - DAALSTRAAT 3bis on thursday 2nd november we squatted at 7:00am a house on daalstraat 3bis. this house belongs to the same owner as the carpet shop standing downstairs and has officially remained empty for about 3 years. still the owner has worked pretty much in this house but unofficially and thats actually the reason why we can stay for the moment until he officalizes his plans. obviously he didn't appreciate much troubles and after discovering some people aptempted to squat it, he aptempted to evict the place with another big guy, while somebody tried to get out. we finally managed to avoid such a scenario. a couple of hours later, around 3 o' clock the verdict came and it was positive. however we don't expect at all to stay there for years as this sudden change in the situation looks to motivate the owner to go ahead in the various procedures and evict it us as soon as possible. he came back later on in the day for a more normal contact and apologized for his attitude on the same morning. he pretends detaining the official papers to build up in the house, but hasn't exposed anything to the officer of justice, so the next question is, how long is this gonna take to officialize his plans and than start a procedure against us... we hope at least after the fucking winter!! well this owner is not a big speculator but a particular. he runs his own shop and the house he was working in, destinated to his daughter who friendly visited us, so this house isn't really an object of struggle for housing faced with greedy faced capitalists worried about the profits of their empires. the owner is not rich or important for the interests of banks and property bussines companies. he doesn't constitute a real class enemy by us and his minor status (within the market) as particular owner doesn't grant him a big lobby towards authorities like major owners can have (and that's also maybe why we could stay above at all!! remember the recent evictions on maliesingel: a question of class rivalities!) that's why we don't wanna cause a lot of troubles to this owner who does'nt look for speculating with this house, who doesn't look for speculating with his house, but who looks for housing his family. we'll leave when our legitimate right to stay ends. CLASS WAR IS A STRATEGICAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE STRUGGLE, NOT AN OBJECT OF INDIVIDUALISM!! ps. we needed somebody who knows how to connect a gas installation. please contact us. thanx ---------------------------kraken-------------------------------- Adminstrator: kraken-post-admin@dvxs.nl Over kraken zie: http://squat.net/ Krakenmail op www: http://www.dvxs.nl/~skwot 'How-To' Kraken-post: http://www.dvxs.nl/~kraken *** to get english help: mailto:posthelp@dvxs.nl
