An eviction took place in the Maltese Settlement, where the Church sold land to the developer for PLN 241 million. The Poznań City Council took an active part in this project, changing the improvement plan so that five-story blocks could be placed there.
There were at least a 100 police officers. The full action was like a martial law. Where large money is involved, the city does not take measures or charge costs. The officers were no more violent than usual: they grabbed our hands and legs, and then, pulling, they removed us from the blockade. During this time, a recording of the priest's speech from the eviction parish was played, which assured that there would be no eviction in the Maltese Settlement. This brutal collision of social interest with business supported by the Church and self-government shows what kind of strategy we live in.
Providing the residents with a worthy alternate and replacement premises should not be a problem for specified a rich city as Poznań. However, the city does not see social harm, but at all costs it wants to triumph over the defenders of tenant rights. force and anesthesia are meant to show that the interests dictated by the pursuit of gigantic social gains are powerless and that the state with its apparatus of repression is among the stronger.
Human rights and social sciences of the Church were trampled on, saying, “Man before capital.” They have the strength to usage force against the weak, and we have good hearts. We will not let the evicted household become homeless. Although our business is not funded by taxation collectors, we'll rent Mrs. Sandra and her boy an flat with a collection.
Volunteers came from all over Poland to defend mothers with children. Now they're to stand trial for disobeying a police order to part ways. They are facing fines that not all can afford. Even though the law has prohibited the holding of collections to pay them since martial law, we can manage.
