I remind you one more time,

that protests should be peaceful.

Another one?

This is where I grew up.

It's the coolest dog in the world.

She's sweeet.

Faderhusers congregation, 26. November 2006

It looks shitty...

Police talking! Sit on the ground!

Everyone is arrested!

Sit down! Now!

Don't touch me!

Get off, you idiot!

Next one, who will try to run

will get on the ground!

What the f*** are you angry about?

- What the f*** are you doing?

You can't just f***ing beat people!

Sit down!

- What for, You are beating us anyway?!

Sit down!

- Im sitting!

Nikolaj! Nikolaj, is everything OK with you?

I think he's ok.

- Nikolaj!

What the f*** are you doing,

you f***ing fascist pigs!?

You can't just f***ing beat kids!

Shut up, it's not your boyfriend who got hit.

Do not negotiate with terrorists,

because it results in a greater terror.

We, the owners, we are inflexible

[Ruth Evensen, Faderhuset leader] -

and we're still saying, that the house is not

for sale, whatever price you offer.

Faderhuset won't sell Ungdomshuset,

what paves the way for riots.

Threat of violence scares citizens

that live in the neighbourhood.

Copenhagen is like a vulcano,

ready for eruption.

Everybody waits in tension :

"Oh, f***, when this is gonna start?"

But there is a place in the city

without this tension.

In the City Council everyone

is absolutely calm.

They cover their ears with hands and

say that this isn't their problem.

With friends we realized

that it won't end on talks

because the other side

does not want to talk with us.

So, like it or not,

we are preparing for a fight.

It's nice up here.

Why can't the foundation

find an another place for their activity?

Does the city want to find such a place?

[Ritt Bjerregaard, Copenhagen mayor]

The city is not obliged to treat

this youth in a special way.

But they aren't going to get off.

What do you do with this?

I can't do anything.

They are not legal owners of this house.

People are afraid, because they saw

bottles and stones on the roof.

[Ungdomshuset; meeting with neighbours]

This scares them.

If just one cop will be cripple or dies,

because he will get hit by something,

then you will lose all your support.

The situation of Ungdomshuset is different

than our neighbours situation,

but we are afraid

of an escalation just like you.

We hope that people understand

that avoiding this confrontation...

could be made only by a miracle.

All legal possibilites are depleted.

All battles are behind us, except this one.

History tells us, that you will be

involved in a fight, if you want it or not.

I would like to be able to do something,

but I do not know how to comfort people.

I believe you, but still I must tell you

that people expressed their fears.

We are aware of these problems,

but we find ourselves in a difficult situation.

Therefore, the house appears to be

as less open than usual.

Kept in this team,

closing from the outside world.

Kopenhagen Authorithies had plenty of occasions

to find a peaceful solution,

but they've ignored all of them.

They ignored not only possibilites, but

also agreements that they agreed with us.

If you experience this often,

you lose faith in their system.

That's just not fair.

You say "their" system,

but isn't it also "our" system?

Not my. Not in the present form.

You sound like a dissapointed man.

- I'm very dissapointed.

I really am...

There isn't anybody else who wants

to help the youth in getting a new home.

Foundation Jagtvej 69 withdrew

from participating in this dispute

soon as the City Council waived

the right to any liability.

We are here, and politicians are there!

The foundation is helplesness

and as sure as a boomerang always comes back

is that the case comes back

into the hands of politicians.

City Council is discussing about Ungdomshusest.

What will the talks be about?

About four proposals:

- City should offer buying back Ungdomshuset.

- City should play mediator

role in this dispute.

- City qualify building as historic building.

All proposals were rejected.

They don't want to touch this case,

so eviction seems to be inevitable.

Norrebro, 16. December 2006

Before the unrest, the Foundation has

proposed the creation of a working group

which would consist of representatives

of the foundation and city authorithies.

Why did you reject this proposal?

Because it's based on a misunderstanding,

according to which the city has

an obligation to help this group.

And this is not a political matter.

The building has been sold ...

But with this the city just fled from

the liability in relation to young people.

Selling a house is entirely legal.

Am I looking into a lens?

OK, I just need to know where...

On this New Year's Eve, Ungdomshuset

is staying on crossroads.

We are entering this New Year in siege.

Important people said that

in this building are two active groups.

The first, which organises concerts,

and second, sitting in basement,

wearing black clothes,

which is only waiting for the opportunity

to fight with the police.

There are no two different groups.

It's only one group of creative youth

which lives in order to establish the value

of cultural diversity for the benefit of all.

Others don't need to justify.

Why is there a place for opera,

but isn't for punk pub?

Why is there a place for speculators,

when people can't afford an apartment?

Why is there a place for fast-foods,

but isn't for our soup-kitchen?

Why is there a place for rich,

but isn't for poor?

Tonight, consider - what Copenhagen do we want?

Happy New Year.

Copenhagen is changing into Herning.

Christiania, Ungdomshuset

and youth clubs are vanishing.

They are replaced by shopping centres,

expensive residential skyscrapers and operas.

Expensive icecream bars, cafe latte

and expensive, designer clothes.

Copenhagen citizens are dictating the fashion,

but under this shiny facade

the violence is heating up.

That's because society is

made up of different units.

You can force people to subordinate,

but theyll still be different,

so you will drive them out

or you will crush them

until something finally breaks.

We are from Ungdmshuset.

We have a metting at noon.

[Kindergarten, Norrebro]

We do not trust that police will inform

everybody when the eviction will come.

So we organized a phone for emergencies,

that will help us in informing

everybody, as soon as it starts.

Well, okay, call,

but you said that you are peaceful

and you don't want confrontation.

And suddenly come here and say

that it will be a confrontation.

We didn't come here to discuss what

can be. We just want to warn you.

You are warning us, because

you know what is going to happen.

This is just so that they have a plan "B".

- We have plan "B".

For me personally the situation

is quite severe.

All these riots and all.

Others also feel the inconvenience

and I'm not sure what to think about this.
