ANTI-EVICTION PROTESTS

Berlin is famous for its squats and autonomous projects. They have been a core part of the city's left-wing culture for over 50 years. However, gentrification has plagued the Germany capital for the last two decades as landlords capitalise on the soaring property market, resulting in mass evictions. Not one to keep silent, the left-wing communities regularly band together in Berlin to protest evictions and the rise of luxury housing in working class neighbourhoods, often clashing with police in the process.
