Subject: Brief Tweede Kamer - Wet Kraken en Leegstand<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
<br>
We, KSU (squatting assistance) volunteers from Amsterdam, wrote a letter<br>
(in Dutch, attached) to the Tweede Kamer to express our opposition to<br>
the amendment to the 2010 “Wet Kraken en Leegstand” (squatting and<br>
vacancy law) proposed by the VVD and CDA.<br>
<br>
The change, as the law itself, focuses on squatters, not speculants, and<br>
would enable the authorities to make a decision on whether to evict<br>
within three days. This threatens squatters' right to a fair hearing,<br>
whilst doing nothing for the problems affecting the majority of the<br>
population.<br>
<br>
Private renting costs continue to spiral out of control, “social”<br>
housing waiting lists grow longer and longer, and precarious living<br>
conditions (homelessness, temporary rental contracts, and anti-squat<br>
agreements) have become the new normal.<br>
<br>
The law and its amendment are populist moves for political capital, and<br>
benefit only a very small minority of people - namely those who keep<br>
their properties empty during an extreme housing shortage.<br>
<br>
We would like to ask any organisations and individuals who share our<br>
anger to undersign this letter, which will be sent out to the government<br>
and media outlets before the Tweede Kamer starts debating the amendment<br>
at the beginning of September.<br>
<br>
If you'd like to do so, please share it with those in your network who<br>
may be supportive, and respond to this email (<a href="mailto:woonstrijd@riseup.net" target="_blank">woonstrijd@riseup.net</a>)<br>
with names and/or organisations by Tuesday, the 27th of August to have<br>
your signature included.<br>
<br>
You can also submit your own opinion on the proposed amendment through<br>
the government's public consultations portal:<br>
<a href="https://www.internetconsultatie.nl/kraakverbod" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.internetconsultatie.nl/kraakverbod</a><br>
<br>
<br>
And perhaps most importantly, if you and/or your organisation are also<br>
facing housing struggles, then let's get organised together to support<br>
one another.<br>
<br>
<br>
KSUs Amsterdam<br>
