Neues Ungdomshus in Copenhavn!

On July 1st the new social centre on Dortheavej 61 will be taken over by the activists from the old Ungdomshuset and the Monday meeting.




The first month for the house will be dedicated to building and discussing the house and its new functions.



The first part of the house being put into use is less than half the size of what the final solution will be (at the end of this year when the last building is taken over). So it will be important to decide what activities to postpone and which to start immediately in the new small house.





At some point after the first month a welcome home party will be announced, but the Monday meeting has stressed, that it is important that the house become well prepared before any public activities can start.





On the first day (July 1st) an open house will be held for some hours during the day where neighbours and well wishers can visit and see the house.

69 weeks. At least 1 demo every week. Thursday demo number 69 was obviously symbolic and the demo crew had announced it was going to last 24 hours, going through most parts of Copenhagen with different sorts of activities planned throughout - four meals during the 24 hours, open air cinema, pirate party, blocking traffic, speeches, concerts and happenings.






Initially there was some sceptiscism from both activists and police, but it soon became apparent that people were going to stick it out all 24 hours. The demo moved around Copenhagen, stopping in different locations to give speeches or show political films. At many points there were disagreements with the police following the demo, but the demo always got its way in the end, often stopping for long stretches in main roads blocking traffic. After 21 hours - on Friday around 2 pm - the police had finally had enough of the demo acting autonomously and confined the demo to a square in Vesterbro. This resulted in a big public manifestation on the square with both bands and DJs coming from other parts of the city to play.

69 MOTHERFUCKER!






After 24 hrs the demo ended in a count down and a big greeting to the activists and the city which had both been upside down for 24 hrs through sun and rain, light and darkness.
