Vacant Building In Budapest Occupied By Activists
- 29 Sep 2014 9:00 AM
Activists of civil group A Város Mindenkié (AVM, the City Belongs to Everyone) on Saturday entered and occupied a building in Budapest which has stood unused for nearly 20 years. The building, in central Budapest’s 6th district, is owned by an offshore company.
Some 60 AVM activists and supporters were at the site, holding lectures and making music to demonstrate how vacant facilities could be utilised.
AVM seeks to focus attention on the fact that a many Hungarians have housing problems, whereas hundreds of thousands of properties are not used for any purpose.
A lot of such properties could be made into affordable rentals, the group said.
