On November 30, it will be 10 years since the occupation of Klinika, an autonomous space that we have fought for from state institutions and capitalist market logic, and which for almost five years provided a place for everyday meetings and the establishment of unpredictable friendships, a place for non-commercial cultural activities and radical emancipatory politics from below. But the clinic was also a place where the slogans of freedom, solidarity and mutual aid were put into practice.

It’s been almost five years since the Klinika squat was evicted, but the need for spaces where we can be more human than just consumers and human resources persists and may even grow, along with the rising price of real estate and the cost of living. The proof is in the newly emerging autonomous spaces. In one of these, we will meet at the “Klinika party” to not only reminisce, but also to sing, dance, feast, and recharge our batteries for the next fights. And to be in solidarity, so the event will be a benefit for another autonomous space, the Infoshop Trhlina.

We will meet at 16:00 at the former Milada squat, the next program continues from 18:00 at 254, there will be screenings, talks, music, dancing, food and drinks.

254 Autonomous Centre

From September 2024, 254 m² of autonomous space is open in Prague’s Holešovice. The 254 Autonomous Centre aims to build on the tradition of the Klinika, Milada and Cibulka squats or the Salé and Zdena infocentres by providing a long-term base for a range of activities, dreams and ideas based on equality and anarchist ideas.
Two-Fifty-Four is open to collectives in need of a place to meet, activity and rest, people looking for a place to spend time without consumerism, and those who just pass by and are hungry. It’s a space for organizing, bonding, fun, culture, education, and helping each other.
Solidarity is our weapon!

Days of resistance from 21 to 25 November. We will have debates, workshops, open mic, jam session, reflections on the future of space, as well as the collaboration of sister spaces such as the CSOA La Algarroba Negra. We encourage you all to participate and show support for CSOA La Muela!

The rehabilitated space that is now the CSOA La Muela began to be self-managed at the beginning of 2024, although the collective project had begun a year earlier. After an exhaustive search we found a plot in the Ribera del Marco, a place that, like many other plots in the area, was expropriated by the City Council of Cáceres more than a decade ago.

We practice mutual support and solidarity with like-minded collectives and initiatives, engaged in social struggles, both local and those that transcend borders. We aspire to generate an intercultural, social and political space free of censorship and an alternative to capitalist impositions. A place open to both people and ideas, free, safe and without prejudice, moved by libertarian, anti-fascist and feminist values. In general terms, we are committed to the environmental struggle, the class struggle, social justice, human rights, the defense of territories, antimilitarism and the rejection of fanaticism.

Every week open assemblies are held in which anyone can make contributions, resolve doubts or propose activities. All activities within the Muela are collaborative. This means that everyone can take initiatives and responsibilities, becoming part of a multidisciplinary team with a great desire to do and learn. In this way, in addition to the hundreds of collective actions for the improvement of the space and the community, we have carried out many scheduled activities, all of them open and free. We have also held various meetings and activities to support some related struggles. We estimate that more than 500 people have already passed through the CSOA La Muela.

Our intention is to continue making the CSOA La Muela a living place, of community participation, open to the neighborhood and the city.

September 28, the OCCII is hosting a benefit event to help the Klokkenhof squatters prepare for a court case and other expenses:

Towering over Surinameplein stands the monumental Klokkenhof flat. Originally built in 1962 with the purpose of housing single working women, now its current owner, property investor Vesteda, plans to renovate the building and charge returning renters higher rent, and is continuing the longstanding trend of investors driving low income workers, students and elderly people further out of the city. Where there used to be 144 social housing apartments, there will be very few left after the renovation.

Vesteda has for years been trampling on renters’ rights and creating a lot of uncertainty amongst them. Renters are being asked to find alternative housing in a market that’s in the worst shape it has ever been in, and then return to their homes which will cost them hundreds of euros more to live in.

Many have moved out already and will not return, but there are still renters who simply can not leave. Some refuse to leave and do not agree with Vesteda’s plans for their homes and the surrounding area. Renters also have the right to stay in their homes until the moment the renovations officially begin. Due to Vesteda’s continuous lack of transparency it is unclear when these renovations will actually take place. The necessary permits have not yet been granted, and Vesteda’s incredibly irresponsible and dangerous practices trying to keep the building free of squatters might slow down the process as well. They have barricaded perfectly livable apartments and demolished dozens of them too, leading to a damaged water system, causing leakages through multiple floors and a potential threat of Legionella bacteria forming, a lot of noise and chaos in the building while renters and squatters still reside inside. It seems like Vesteda are starting their renovations with total disregard for the permit process and the safety and health of their renters.

Since May 2024 a substantial amount of apartments in Klokkenhof have been squatted. There are many renters who support the squatting and understand that it is one of the few tools we have to wield against institutional investors in a housing landscape in which this country’s government has failed people massively for decades.

This benefit has been organized to help the squatters prepare for a court case and other expenses.
