Police officers hold protesters back from stopping an eviction of a leftist bar in Berlin
ANTI-GENTRIFICATION activists clashed with hundreds of police today while attempting to prevent the eviction of the owners of a popular left-wing bar in Berlin.
The Syndikat, located in Neukolln neighbourhood since 1985, was told in September 2018 by a property management firm on behalf of the building’s elusive owners that they would have to leave by the end of the year.
The Syndikat decided to stay, becoming a battleground against rising rents in the German capital.
