Stora Enso uhkaa häätää squatin Varsovassa

http://indymedia.dk/articles/957

We are a part of the collective of ELBA squat in Warsaw, Poland.

Elba is a two houses squat separated by a line. One side consists of a house and a wagenburg [trailer park] and the other side consists of the second house, a concert hall, and a bar. The other side has also a space for numerous workshops, a FOOD NOT BOMB's kitchen, a skate park and a freeshop.

We need help and support, the news has to be spread that another squat in Europe is facing eviction!

Both sides have different owners so the first house, squatted in 2004, is not in danger now but the second one, as well as the venue, both squatted in 2007, is to be torn down as the price market is favourable for the owner now.

The possible eviction would affect 12 people living on this side and a place for some of the D.I.Y/alternative culture activities in Warsaw.

Two years ago the owner offered us an every- month renewable contract, which in a way supported the residents of the house and the different activities taking place here. It's been peaceful two-years life here until the owner came back one month ago and informed us about his decision to take back the land and tear down the buildings.
We went to the main office of the company owning our ground and after one-hour talk an agreement was made to give us more time, maybe a year or two.

Finally one week later, a representative of the company came to our place and said he had been never told about any agreement and informed us that they give us one month to leave our house. Of course, it's been a shock. As the dialogue always has existed between both parts, it's hard to understand that they leave us such short time to move out, not caring if we would find another place to go and to run all the activities.

We need help and support, the news has to be spread that another squat in Europe is facing eviction!

Yet, for the time being, we want a peaceful dialogue with the owner so please, if you want to set any protest action, contact us for more information!!
