Dutch governement does not care.

The Dutch governement does not care what happens in their country. Children are kidnapped even from abroad (also from Ireland) and put in jails, madhouses and are exploited sexually. Even as young as 7 or 8 year olds! The governement funds this! They also want to legalise paedophilism and have child prostitutes pay tax on sex like all over 18 prostitutes do in the Netherlands.
The governement wants the young below the age of 25 to fend for themselves so they are planning to cut all forms of social welfare to the under 25 year olds.
Now THEY TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO THE OLD AND POOR! The social housing has to go in order to sell these houses for profit. The elderly and the poor flee their houses after years of harrassment and bullying. They are forced to leave their belongings behind. The ones that stay are forced out by the police. Anyone actively helping like the organisation “De Algemene Kraak Vereniging” is arrested.

AWV: social housing
The awv says they are a social building society, They say they care about their tenants but reality is different.
They ’renovate” social housing and then sell these on or rent these out at high prices
To get rid of the tenants they broke up the streets in front of the exits and placed building materials in order to stop people from getting in or out of their houses. The people that live here can not get their belongings out of their house.
The “De Algemene Kraak Vereniging” helped an old lady who lives high up in appartments and who wants to live on the ground floor due to her disability. This woman was entitled to live in one of these houses of the AWV.
The police have entered all these houses and removed all occupants by force. The members of “De Algemene Kraak Vereniging” have been arrested and jailed without grounds and released without proof of them ever being arrested. One policeman said to a member that he couldn’t find her passport and therefore could not identify her while she being a good citizen had it in her pocket all along.

The address of the housing is Van Hallstraat
Van Bossestraat 27 and Rochussenstraat Amsterdam
Most houses had been empty for over a year because of the terror actions of the housing corporation. It has never been established that renovation is needed for these houses, they only want to get rid of the poor people who cannot afford high rent.
The city council just awards renovation applications without checking.
The poor lose their affordable social housing and are dumped in the streets.

State that you disagree with the Dutch state and that poor people need housing too. You wouldn’t throw your own granny in the streets! Don’t let these people lose their houses.
