A few hours ago, the guards broke into the company Eggs supported by the police. Residents resisted. At least six people barricaded themselves on the roof. Supporters gathered outside the Elbe organizing a solidarity demonstration. The demonstrators are trying to get inside to help the squatters, they broke the gate, which is now blocked by the police.
Security guards inside the wreck, probably in order to place looked unused (??).. One of the residents barricaded himself in his room, refusing for three hours to leave, the police failed during these hours to show him the eviction order.

Residents squat for several hours also prevents illegal access to their private property. ??) According to unconfirmed information, among them a pregnant woman
