---- "B(A)D NEWS - Angry voices from around the world" is a monthly news program from the 
international network of anarchist and antiauthoritarian radios, consisting of short news 
segments from different parts of the world. As an international network of radio projects, 
we believe in the importance of international solidarity. And we also recognize the 
importance and the need to create and disseminate our own media and counterinformation.

We hope, with this effort, to reach out to other anarchist and antiauthoritarian projects, 
groups and individuals, and to strengthen our connections and our struggles in sharing our 
stories.

Although this program is in English, we recognize that even this ‚international‘ language 
can be alienating to some and we want to encourage others to create and share similar 
content in their own languages.

We want to hear the Bad News first!

Enjoy! And please feel free to share!

A-Radio Berlin (for the A-Radio Network)

Today, Leaders of the Association of Tenants, organized a picket at the Provincial Office 
in Poznan. The aim of the meeting was to draw attention to the alarming provincial 
government action, in the last days, bearing all the hallmarks of the practice of cleaning 
houses . ---- A dozen people gathered in front of the Office after talks with 
representatives of the local media, was able to petition the Governor purpose of informing 
about the recent problems of tenants. According WSLu issue is important and affects an 
increasing number of residents. As the association said in a statement: "Many families in 
debt loses the right to occupy an apartment, which is the only place where they can meet 
the basic housing needs. The direct cause of the loss of the apartment is the cessation of 
repayment of the loan to the bank or the developer or other entities. Loss of liquidity is 
mainly due to high mortgage installments (often previously denominated in Swiss francs). 
The reasons for this are various, eg. Related to loss of earning capacity due to illness 
or other circumstances which are independent of the borrowers. At the time of lack of 
liquidity payments, it comes to the auction (announced by the bank or other entity, eg. 
The developer) and the loss of the right to occupy an apartment. The new owner based on 
the act of acquisition and transfer of ownership housing, can - without having to bring 
the case to court - immediately start proceedings with the participation of the bailiff 
that "the march" on his behalf shall eviction. "(Full text here )

Unfortunately secretariat governor gathered obtained only information that is currently 
Governor of the meeting and can not accept them. Therefore submitted a petition informing 
tenants about problems and achieved to ensure that the province governor will respond in 
writing to the information contained therein within a week. One can only hope that, 
despite many years of government inaction in relation to the practice of cleaning houses 
and violation of the rights of tenants, this time things will not be proverbially "swept 
under the carpet"

symptomatic and noteworthy is the considerable assistance of police officers. A total of 
three vehicles of prevention, one police car, a dozen officers, including police officers 
in plain clothes. That assistance picket on a dozen or so notified, prior to the Poznan 
police action cooperating with cleaner houses, or passivity in the face of illegal 
eviction attempts and harassment directed at tenants, has a very symbolic dimension. The 
police will continue to monitor, film and write down activists and activists of tenant 
than to intervene obvious manifestations of violations of the rights of tenants.
