The statement we wrote to address the false accusations from the landlords and their lawyers can be read here. The accusers had two lawyers while we proudly represented ourselves. Procedurally we were asked to choose one spokesman for the group. We chose Mari as our spokeswoman. Mari and rest of us did a fantastic job. We rejected the lies presented in landlords and lawyer’s views expressed earlier leading to the previous decision. And the court will make another decision after this meeting. And we are all exited about it.... I d like to also mention the way police has handled the case witch is positively unusual. Perhaps its because we have chosen open strategy, communication and discussion instead of barricading. They said that they will be waiting for the judicial systems decision and hopefully seen that making fourteen people homeless for the property right to prevail over rationality, just to let the house stand and rot is not a solution that anyone will gain from. This is more than just Us The Squatters versus Øvre Lodalen Boligutvikling AS. It is about what kind of a society do we want? Rat race? Where garbage rises? Do we want there to be cynicism, greed and antagonism to be the order of the day? Or do we want solidarity, equanimity and diversity to be the norms in modern civilized urban development desisionmaking. A journalist from a local newspaper came by today, asked some questions, made some notes......
