A call for ACTION:
After six year of occupying the famout and the oldest squat in Czech Republic - LADRONKA, there is serius danger of eviction of this place. City of Prague sold squatt Ladronka to company SANTA s.r.o., who wants to rebuild this house to luxury hospital for elite. Last chance to save this place is to do interational actions of solidarity. Squatters are calling for actions at Czech embassy all over the Globe. There is growing represion in Prague, becouse of meetings of IMF and World Bank next year (2000) in Prague. Please support our struggle.
Few notes about LADRONKA:
The reason for occupation of Ladronka six years ago was to do autonomous Centre free area and provide space for anarchist and radical political activities and for noncommercial culture.
This space cannot be under authority of governmental or commercial restrictions. So, that comes only consummation of culture without self-realization and basic activity.
All the actions took place in the spirit of autonomy. People were working to free and them selves with the D.I.Y. idea. All profit is founding for small reconstruction, for buy technical equipment and for propagation etc.
Ladronka is also one of the few places where is possible produce support actions and benefits for many groups or for wanted activists of alternative scene.
In the present time the magistrate filed a charge against squatters for building eviction and prepares a selling agreement with company SANTE s.r.o..
This company wants to convert this house into a luxury sanatorium {hospital} for rich people only. Magistrate promised new area for cultural-social Centre, but now they want to sweep the squatters without replacement, because the collective of Ladronka participate on organizing of some political actions including past streetparties.
We don't see no way out for this problem. In 1995 was situation like today. Terminal club company wants to rebuilt Ladronka into expensive hotel. Public campaign prepared by squatters, neighborhoods supporters and protests at embassies in foreign countries, forced this company to rejected their first thought.
If you want to support us:
Do protest at the demo at the Czech embassy - the best is to have symbolic action around 28th of September, when there is also action in Prague, the idea is to have action close to this day, maybe would be good to have action when there is someone on embassy...
Write protest letters or E-mails the best would be to send it as many times as possible to get so they have to read them at least once.
