On April 28 there was a protest at Bemowo City Hall regarding plans to put evicted people into building containers in the middle of nowhere, instead of providing them with social housing. As it is, the standards of social housing are very poor: 5 meters per person, without need to have heat, hot water or a toilet. Now they would like to put these people in metal boxes which do not even qualify as buildings or housing under the law.

A protest was held at the City Hall of those responsible for the plans, despite the rain. However, our protest was met by a counter protest of far-right goons, who suspiciously appeared out the back of City Hall giving out their own, grotesque leaflets and calling us Bolsheviks and complaining about parasites, Eurosodomy and other things. As it turns out, we were able to identify the ring-leader of the band as an official at the City Hall, a department head who lost in elections but is in the ruling party, so got a cushy position. And this is not the first time he has made some an action: he was seen creating a similar disturbance another place, also pretending to be an outraged citizen.

We do not know whether this counteraction was this boob's initiative or whether it was ordered from higher-up, but we see how the authorities are handling this. It should be pointed out that these people are using hate speech against poor people to discredit us - protesting about parasites who live in public housing and red baiting when they have no other arguments.

ZSP will take action against those responsible for this pathetic move and will keep fighting against all plans to create slums and further destroy public housing in the city.
