This Friday, October 17, we expect more than 100 police officers on the sidewalk of the building of the Zone Neutre collective to put its 70 residents, including 18 children, on the street when the sun rises. The building was empty and will remain empty for a long time. We will not accept this! Show your solidarity and come to Brussels to stop the deportations.
Since March, a group of undocumented people has been occupying a former building of the liberal union. The group of people is united behind the collective Zone Neutre and fights for the regularization of all, against racism and against closed borders and closed centers. Since the arrival of the collective, they have been organizing activities, film screenings, language lessons, lectures and more on the square in front of the building. A place that previously struggled with many social problems comes alive in the presence of the collective and becomes a place of encounter and solidarity.
The current owner of the building, Morad El Aisaoui, is a Dutch businessman and owner of several hotels in Amsterdam. He also plans to turn this building into a hotel, but does not yet have a permit or building plans for it. There are already three hotels on the square, one more luxurious than the other, while the district has barely 4% social housing. A new hotel is therefore far from what the residents of the district need, so the neighborhood decides to oppose gentrification and in solidarity with the struggle of the Zone Neutre.
We are now counting the fourth deportation attempt by the police. Each time, the collective responds with resistance by organizing barricades, a festival, neighborhood actions and more. This time we expect more than a hundred officers at the door. A new and larger resistance is therefore needed. If there are enough of us, we can block the door and prove once again that our solidarity will always be stronger.
Come to Brussels, spread the word and take your comrades with you.
