On October 17, between 8,000 and 10,000 people came to the national Woonopstand in Rotterdam. There we made a joint fist with a broad coalition. It is high time for a radically different housing policy. But the housing struggle continues! Residential protests will be organized at both local and national level in the coming months. Here's an overview.

The demonstration in the Afrikaanderpark happened in a good atmosphere. After a joyful program with speakers and music, we left the park for the Erasmusbrug bridge [in a march towards Markthal]. There the march came to a halt as a group of protesters was separated [and surrounded] from the rest of the demonstration by the riot police.

A group of protesters is blocked by the police and the riot police. The reason for this is unknown to us. Arrests are made and disproportionate force is used. A detainee support group is available. More info via https://indymedia.nl/node/50645
