Today in the city of Berlin a solidarity demostration for the social center Ungdomshuset of Copenhagen took place. About three thousand activists joined the initiative promoted by the Berlin Ungdomhuset Solidarity Group, making a radical and determined demo that crossed the central streets of Berlin.
A lot of antifascist political realities, squats, cultural organisations and subjectivies of the underground environment of Berlin were involved in this european day of mobilization for Ungdomshuset.
There was a big presence of riot police walking really close to the demo, surrounded it all the way by all sides. When the demo arrived at the end of the authorized path, they stopped the demo and they ordered to the people to leave the street and to go away in little groups.
The demonstrators disobeyed police`s order, trying to keep the demo on. The immediate police`s reaction was a charge in order to split up the demo. Few people were arrested. "Reclaim the street! We all are Ungdomshuset", this was the spontaneuous answer of the activists, that tried to reclaim a new street to continue a not legal demo. Charges developed in trying to catch the demonstrators and arresting them. The demo divided itself in small groups that spread in the area. People were still shouting slogans and trying to recompose bigger groups. The police’s actions continued till 23.30 in this zone. The result was around 30 activists arrested.
