Here are 9 incomplete steps to make a squat. Now, you probably wonder where the missing
steps is? Good, remember to take precautions!
1. Decide on an abandoned place-i.e. the one that has not been empty for a long time
(which is from 1 year onwards).
2. Gather 30 people or more (the more the better) and set date and time of
squatting.
3. Prepare some facts, like: who owns the building or flat, why it hasn't been yet occupied
(it can help you when later the police arrrive); prepare some tools, like wooden planks, matresses, etc.
so onced you break in than you can barricade the place from inside; get a crowbar and other tool necessary
to open alocked door.
4. Go there with your group of people and encircle the place. Let the "locksmith" break in, the others
will secure the front door. Let them look like if they were on a picknick, it doesn't matter
if it is in the centre of the town.
5. Probably some curious neighbour will call the cops. When they arrive let someone talk to them and explain calmy that the place is now taken by squaters who live there (that's why you need matresses and other props to show them
that someone is living there). Caution!: you can let the police inside and show them the place
but if they behave too confident and rude DON'T LET THEM IN! On no condition! Once they are inside they can take the place over.
6. If the police try to enter the premises without your consent DON'T LET them do that!
Prepare yourself and the group to resist by forming a chain and make sinister looks.
7. If the police take action I wish you good luck, if they leave then hope they won't be back
with a special unit armed like robocops. You can now pass the symbolic key to the new owner of
the premises. He or she, in case the police come, can contact with the lawyer who will take charge of
the formal side of the flat.
8. If later the police come DON'T OPEN the door! You can hand them a piece of paper with
the number of the lawyer and ask them to contact with him.
9. Make yourself at home!
