Protest against Amazon Tower: Rent in Friedrichshain explode!

Protest against Amazon Tower: Rent in Friedrichshain explode!

in Berlin, where political discourse is often dominated by urgent topics, there is also room for culture and action. On Monday, the Danish royal couple, Frederik X. and Queen Mary, will be expected in the capital, where they are welcomed by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. But while the royal visit is being considered, another pressing topic remains in the shade: Denmark's restrictive migration policy, which causes concern among German politicians. Here the monarchy is primarily regarded as a symbolic event, while the real political issues are rather stressful across the borders.

In Friedrichshain, however, where the resistance to repression and rising rents is still high, anti -fascists meet on Monday evening for an information evening, organized by the anti -fascist networking in Lichtenberg. Strategies against right -wing agitation and the current situation of the refugees in the region are discussed here. Such events are particularly important, since the pressure on the right is also noticeable in Berlin and it is necessary to mobilize civil society.

On Wednesday there is a night flea market in the legendary Club So36, which is particularly intended for creative minds and night owls. From 8 p.m., visitors can rummage for bargains and at the same time get support from social advice. An ideal evening for everyone who often gains sleep during the weekly markets.

Saturday is all about resistance. From 4:30 p.m., protesting against the opening of the Amazon Tower at the Warsaw Bridge will be protested. This demonstration is clearly directed against displacement and rising rents in the city. Together, the participants gather at the Schleidenplatz to raise their voice against the effects of gentrification that leaves many long -time residents behind.

In these tense times when right -wing extremism continues to gain on ground, it is more important than ever to campaign for an open and tolerant society. TAZ supports the Polylux network, which is actively working against the right rate in East Germany and promotes projects that stand up for democracy and tolerance. This solidarity and support are essential for the preservation of a diverse civil society in which everyone has a voice.
