100s claim new youth house in Danemark
A historical, well-loved Copenhagen youth cultural house, Ungdomshuset, was sold by the city to another owner this year. This was met with days of protest. Now, users of the previous house are trying to start a subsequent center.
Manifesto
Action Grøndalsvænge Allé 13 (AktionG13) is an initiative based in and around the movement for a new youth house. We started with a single objective; to get a new youth house. We've been looking at empty buildings in Copenhagen for a long time now, and we've ended up picking the house at Grøndalsvænge Allé 13 for the purpose.
New youth house - Grøndalsvænge Allé 13
The location is situated in the Northwest District of Copenhagen (Nordvestkvarteret), just by Fuglebakken S-train station, and it has a great potential as a new free space. The house is about the same size as the former youth house at Jagtvej 69 and has got a big yard. As Copenhagen's city council hasn't, as promised, given us a replacement for Jagtvej 69, we have taken matters in our own hands and found a new house.
We have visited the house on numerous occasions and agree that it's a unique place that we, with your help, are looking forward to move into. The area is owned by the Copenhagen municipality, so the politicians don't even have to find extra funds, to buy the house for us.
Ongoing newsticker:
G-Day 15.27
From the speaker trucks the four coloured blocks are now being asked to act independently. The demonstration is on Borups Alle under the overpass.
Eyewitnesses say, that riot vans in front of the road passing under the railway tracks to Grøndalsvænge are now parked so close together that squezzing between them would physically be a problem.
G-Day 15.23
The police have taken up positions at Fuglebakkent S-train station. The police number in the hundreds, many riot vans are present and the road has been narrowed to almost nothing for the demo. The police are determined that it go no further according to the police spokesman.
G-Day 15.17
Police chief spokesman Flemming Steen Munch has said to Modkraft.dk that the heavy police presence at the intersection with Borups Alle is aimed at preventing the demo from getting on to the motorway overpass. He also confirmed that the police would not be letting the demo get any closer to the house than Fuglebakken st.
G-Day 15.05
The demo is nearing the intersection Borups Alle-Lundtoftegade. There is a lot of police present in the intersection - at least twelve riot vans and cops. If the demo turns down the road as agreed with the police, they will be able to cut off the demo and shut it in on both ends.
For the first time today a confrontation seems to be likely.
G-Day 14.51
Yesterday the left radical youth organistion Rød Ungdom published a statement saying that a post on their internet forum inciting violence had been removed. The poster's IP was logged and traced to one of the major news papers in Denmark "Politiken". As the case is now the object of interest for the general public the IT service dept for Politiken has declined making comments.
Rød Ungdom has stated that violence is not the basis of G-13 nor for Rød Ungdom itself. The post has been removed, but evidence retained.
Politiken has shown a continued interest in the dealings of G13, earlier today reporting that rolls of barb wire and construction materials had been moved to the site, and has several times featured articles on the small protests against the placing of a social centre in the city.
