On Wednesday, December 4th 2024, the police evicted the social center Kaaoskartano from Kulosaari manor, just half a week after it was occupied. Kaaoskartano had moved to the Kulosaari manor from the adjacent Marttojen maja last weekend because the city tried to smoke the squatters out of Marttojen maja by cutting off the electricity there. Makamik condemns the eviction and the pressure on the squatters that preceded it.
When we occupied the same manor last spring for our spring festival, we noticed how well it would be suitable for a more permanent social center. It is sad how the city would rather let old houses rot away empty than let grassroots actors organize their own activities in them. We will see what kind of luxury hotel they will eventually be able to conceive in Kulosaari, if they even get that far.
Love to the evicted squatters 🖤
Let’s show today at Töölöntori HIN-demo that the police’s hardening grip is not welcome either in Kivinokka or Töölö!
