Hello! I feel there is a lack of information on how to squat in Europe so here is a valuable guide for free.
Much like France and Belgium, the Netherlands has vibrant squatting culture. There are "cultural freezones" aka squats that are sort of recognised by the government (but also not actually legal? It's strange), which allows them to host events and share their presence with the public!
If you aren't aware of squatting culture in Western Europe, it is common to find freeshops, vegan Kufas (free food kitchens), and rotating workshops (usually for bike repair or activism-geared climbing). And techno raves! I meet so many kind people who are motivated to make the world a better place.
Btw the word for squatting is "kraken" in Dutch, isn't that neat?

PS I tried to upload the file instead of just linking it, but it is too large for the server to process. Maybe I can try uploading it in the Stp-Library?
