Brussels: new eviction postponed for the Collectif Zone Neutre

On Wednesday, August 27, the mobilization paid off! The police and the bailiff were unable to pass the tight ranks of people present in front of the building at Square de l’Aviation in Anderlecht. Thank you and congratulations to all. It’s a victory in a long battle for dignity and housing: we remain mobilized for the future. The day before, the mayor had refused to take part in preventing this eviction on the pretext that a complaint had been filed by the owner for non-execution of police orders, even though the hearing has been postponed to November 3 and there has therefore been no judgment.

Nordin Amrabat involved in eviction of 70 people in Brussels

Collective Zone Neutre, a collective of 70 people in Brussels, has been threatened with another eviction on August 27. The Dutch owners of the building refuse to enter into talks with the collective to reach an agreement. Brussels is therefore reaching out to the Netherlands for international solidarity to put pressure on the footballer Nordin Amrabat, the business partner of the company FMM Holding BV. [Read More]

Amsterdam: Transvaalstraat 141A & Binnen Bantammerstraat 3-1 squatted!

On the 13th August, two buildings in Amsterdam were revealed to have been taken back: Transvaalstraat 141A & Binnen Bantammerstraat 3-1. These buildings are owned by the hypocritical robbers of the people, ‘social housing’ company Ymere.

We are done facing precariousness, poverty, and exploitation every day while the landlords and social housing companies hold thousands of empty homes and make profit from our misery. We took the matter in our own hands and decided to house ourselves.

Ymere previously listed the house on Binnen Bantammerstraat for sale. Social housing companies gentrify the city by selling their properties in the center and using the money for buildings on the fringes of Amsterdam. This pushes the working class further and further away from the heart of the city and helps turn the center into a playground for yuppies and tourists. You can find more information about this and actions taken against it at https://niettekoop.org. [Read More]

Zagreb: Anarcha queer day of the Zagreb Anarchist Bookfair at Postaja

Vrrrane in collaboration with the Zagreb Anarchist Bookfair collective are organizing at the Postaja squat on September 6, 2025, the first day of the official bookfair as a forum to address specifically anarcha-queer topics! It will be held mostly in English. Similar event already took place at Postaja in september 2024.

Attempts at reenvisioning our future as a place of solidarity, mutual aid, equity and degrowth require questioning existing power structures. Addressing social inequities is at the very heart of criticizing authoritarian structures and without it, we can never enable egalitarian and equitable relationships that are key to any anarchist vision.

The patriarchy continues to contribute to the marginalization, exploitation and violent repercussions against us who do not obey the strictly defined, submissive roles surrounding the figure of the dominant cis-male. Even in our anarchist collectives and communities, these power structures are reproduced and too often go unchallenged and unquestioned. This enables violence and further subjugation/marginalization/domination and poses a direct obstacle to our visions. [Read More]
