Inhabitants of Europe
Budapest, May 27: Housing, Not Walls!
Walled-up social housing unit (Budapest, May 13 2010, avarosmindenkie)
The “City is for All” holds a rally in front of the building of the local authority of Ferencváros, with the slogan “Housing, Not Walls!”, to protest the anti-social behaviour of the mayor and the housing department. After delivering our letter to the office, we will symbolically wall up the entrance of the local authority, as they do with foreclosed social rental flats.
Europe’s homeless speak out
We are taking advantage of the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, as well as the decision of the European Union to tackle the issue of homelessness, in order to organize a large-scale consultation of former and current homeless people in the countries of Europe. And we are sure that our voices will be heard, as we were successful (miraculously!) in getting commissioned to do this by the Belgian government!
Mondiali al contrario - Abahlali dal 18 al 30 maggio in Italia
A tre settimane dall’inizio della Coppa del mondo di calcio tre sudafricani di Abahlali baseMjondolo («quelli che vivono nella baracche», in lingua zulu), il movimento che secondo il Times «ha scosso il panorama politico del Sudafrica», percorreranno la strada inversa per venirci a trovare in Italia. Dal 18 al 30 maggio Busisiwe, Thembani e Philani incontreranno associazioni e cittadini per raccontare che cosa significa la Coppa del mondo per i sudafricani più poveri, per parlare della lotta di Abahlali per terra, case, dignità e democrazia nel Sudafrica post-apartheid e ascoltare a loro volta il racconto di chi si ostina a immaginare un altro mondo. È la campagna «Mondiali al contrario» promossa dal settimanale Carta, alcuni missionari comboniani e altri cittadini, singoli e di organizzazioni sociali.

European Parliament Occupied by the Homeless
Burning homeless
The artist and activist Jens Galschiøt (DK) joins the homeless organizations to put focus on the great number of homeless in Europe by visiting the European Parliament 12th to 16th April. Galschiøt has created 13 big bronze sculptures of homeless people, all in natural size. These very heavy sculptures are by now on their way to the European Parliament to act as the start signal for a debate in all member countries about the conditions under which the homeless have to cope.
