Police in Berlin met with resistance while clearing left-wing activists from an occupied house and cultural center following a court order. People who lived in the building have called the eviction illegal.
“glass projectiles” is a weird way to say “bottles”
The owner of the property, Gijora Padovicz, refused to renew the group’s 10-year rental contract in 2018 and began a court process to evict the inhabitants. Padovicz owns several hundred homes in Berlin and has been accused of allowing his properties to deteriorate in order to renovate them and increase rents, according to the Agence France-Presse news agency.
I’m actually surprised that the news service would point out how the owner of the property is a filthy
gentrifier. Is this a left-leaning news service? I’m not really familiar with German media.
I’m also surprised that they brought 1500 cops for this eviction. I wonder if they originally planned to have this many police or whether they called in more in response as the protest grew.
Edit: I’m excellent at writing things in a non-repetitive manner and definitely read what I write before I post.
Deutsche Welle is German state media, but only targeted abroad, you never see it in Germany itself. Usually quite imperialist, but maybe they are a tiny bit progressive in domestic matters.
