Belo Horizonte: immediate risk of eviction of Kasa Invisível

By: fawda - August 12th, 2026  Filed under: Communique, News

This weekend, we were surprised by a court ruling ordering the eviction of Kasa Invisível. Our lawyers are already working to try to reverse this decision, but the eviction could happen at any moment throughout this week.

Therefore, we are reaching out now to ask for the attention and support of our friends, partner organizations and collectives, the people who frequent the house, our neighbors, and everyone who supports and believes in this project.

We ask that you stay alert and available to stand with us if necessary!

Soon, we will call an open meeting at Kasa Invisível to think collectively about how we can resist the eviction and strengthen this struggle. Our strength is social and collective, and we believe that we can only face this moment through solidarity, mobilization, and mutual support. [Read More]

Winterthur: Defend all squats, defend decent housing for all! Gisi bleibt!

By: fawda - August 4th, 2026  Filed under: Communique, News

International Call to Action and Solidarity

Dear friends and comrades

We urgently need your help and solidarity.

The oldest squat of Winterthur/CH (and probably of Switzerland) is imminently threatened to be evicted in August. Gisi, at General-Gusian-Street 31, was squatted in January 1997 and is until now used as home for a lot of people without much money and as a social meeting point and non-profit culturals space.

Over the last years we, Häuservernetzung Winterthur, tried everything not to let this happen and to save this important house as a home and social and radical cultural space from destruction.

But the owners, SKKG – a very wealthy real estate- and art-foundation – are planning to renovate the house for five million Swiss francs to make more profit of every house they own. Letting rich people take over the last piece of inner city of Winterthur. [Read More]

Italy: about the June 16 raids on anarchists

By: fawda - June 20th, 2026  Filed under: Communique, News

WAR TIMES

On Tuesday, June 16, in Rome and other cities, new police raids hit the anarchist movement, with seven arrest warrants against as many comrades, 5 preventive detentions in prison and 2 house arrests with electronic bracelets, searches throughout Italy (including La Vampa in Naples), and the eviction of the Bencivenga Occupato social center in Rome. The main charge is the now classic “association for terrorist purposes” (270-bis). In addition, two comrades were arrested for the new crime of “terrorism by words” for possession of some pamphlets found during the searches.

Although the information disclosed by the media is scarcer and incomplete than usual, it is clear that the investigation revolves around a number of acts of sabotage of railway lines, in particular the one carried out on February 14 on the Rome-Florence line, against the Cortina 2026 War Olympics.

Amsterdam: Police trying new tricks

By: fawda - June 12th, 2026  Filed under: Communique, News

The police in Amsterdam, together with the magistrate, successfully managed to circumvent the right to fair trial, and evicted a squat in Amsterdam north.

Housing crisis

We are in the middle of a housing crisis. Everyone’s working their asses off, and nobody has money for a house. A studio apartment in the city costs 2k per month. A house for less than half a million you won’t even find in a village in Groningen where the ground shakes occasionally.
Social housing cooperatives, with the task of housing the population, still opt for the sale of social rent apartments. Overdue maintenance is order of the day. Homelessness is rising, just like the number of people living below the poverty line. Of course, it’s a time to crack down on the squatters again. [Read More]

Chile: eviction of the Espacio Katarcis after years of resisting the abandonment of Valparaíso

By: fawda - June 4th, 2026  Filed under: Interviews, News

The Espacio Katarcis, squatted in 2019, was evicted on May 12, 2026. Jimena Améstic (El Arrebato) talks to Claudia involved in Katarcis.

“Above the sorrow and anger, we had the solidarity of all the people”

The community space located in the building of the former Arcis University was closed this Tuesday after a court order in favor of the company Tecnored. Cultural workshops were given in the space, and shortly before they were expelled, a solidarity dining room, a radio and an editorial space had been set up, activities that brought together more than 200 people weekly in the Almendral neighborhood.

Members of the initiative spoke with El Arrebato, and assured that despite the fact that “the community is saddened”, the “desire to sustain and continue” with the project persists.

Valparaíso lost again. This Tuesday, May 12, the special forces of the Carabineros evicted the Espacio Katarcis, a self-managed center that had been squatted in 2019. In the middle of the street were the implements of a space that in August would celebrate seven years delivering culture to the Almendral neighborhood. [Read More]

Athens: call for actions in solidarity with Prosfygika on the 5th of April

By: fawda - March 29th, 2026  Filed under: Communique, News

Day 53 of Hungerstrike until Death

Call for actions in solidarity with Prosfygika on the 5th of April for the internationalist defense of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika

In June 2025 the Regional Government of Attica (which Athens belongs to) approved a programmatic contract for the “renovation” and the evacuation of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika, where more than 400 people live. 53 days ago, on February 5th, our comrade Aristotelis Chantzis started a hunger strike until death for the defense of the Community, for the defense of life. Soon in the next weeks, a second comrade will follow and start a hunger strike. Several weeks of actions in Athens and internationally have passed. The opening of the Community to the broader society, in Greece and internationally, is to build toward its social self-defense. This opening includes a full events program, a weekly open assembly, guest houses for cancer patients of the nearby Agios Savas hospital, and construction works to renovate houses, create more hospital guest housing, and the construction of the civil war museum. Hundreds of internationalists, solidarians and locals answered the call to come to the community and support the work for its defense. [Read More]

Athens: new threats on Prosfygika

By: fawda - January 25th, 2026  Filed under: Communique, News

Emergency announcement regarding an imminent attack and eviction of Prosfygika.

During the summer of 2025, secretly, the Region of Attica, through a programmatic agreement, initiated the planning for the repression and eviction of the Community of the Squatted on Alexandras Avenue.

With the beginning of 2026, it set in motion the new phase of its plan, using paid articles by government mouthpieces and promoting of all the steps that foresee for the violent eviction of the Community of Prosfygika within the next six months and – as usual – a major feast of public money.

Winterthur: Gisi stays! No profit with housing!

By: fawda - December 11th, 2025  Filed under: Communique, News

Come to the Gisi Stays demo on December 20, 2025, 14:00 at the main station in Winterthur, Switzerland.

As some of you might have heard already, the Stefanini foundation for art, culture and history (SKKG) wants to evict Gisi (General-Guisan-Str. 31, Winterthur), the probably oldest squat in Switzerland, in February 2026.

All negotiation attempts to keep the house ours, alive and lived in uncommercially and self-organized have failed at the unwillingness of the foundation.

Especially SKKG, that preaches art, culture and history, wants to destroy exactly this.

Because in the past 28 years, numerous artists have given Gisi artistic diversity by organizing different workshops, concerts and events.

Over the decades many people have always lived at Gisi, permanently and temporarily. Gisi means affordable housing for many, that don’t have anything. [Read More]

Amsterdam: Sint Jacobsdwarsstraat 6 squatted

By: fawda - December 11th, 2025  Filed under: Communique, News

On Friday 7 November, we squatted Sint Jacobsdwarsstraat 6, owned by Stadsgoed N.V., through Stadsgoed Monumenten B.V. The same company owns or owned the former windows on the Dollebijnensteeg in the Red Light District that were squatted by Mokum Kraakt in 2024. They were also the owners of Rokin 116 when it was squatted and re-squatted in 2003. After the first eviction, the gemeente gave Stadsgoed a €50 million mortgage to renovate the building and turn it into expensive housing for sale, even though the company had no money.

Stadsgoed grew out of the woningcorporatie Het Oosten, which through a merger later became Stadgenoot. The company’s purpose was to buy properties from the criminal underworld — in collaboration with the geemente — and increase the liveability of the city. For anyone who needs a translation from property-market-speak, liveability here means higher rents, soulless touristshops, more hotels with extortionate prices. And of course, happy, rich speculants.
