A few days ago one of many families in Croatia was evicted from their home due to unpayable loans. You might say: "Oh the blame is on them! Why did they take the loan in the first place!" The trick is not really in the loan it is in the government that allowed something like this to happen. Foreign banks entering Croatia giving people loans against the law, illegally. Making them pay much more for the interest then they initially had to. Živi Zid (or Human Blockade) comes to these evictions to make the problem visible to the public. It is politics that never defends the interest of "small people".
This is the video from one of these evictions where the police officers are taking away the reporter just because he was recording what is happening. I have to mention it was previously said to them that they are allowed to record. Suddenly they switched thier minds and this is the result.
(There are English subtitles)
recording was suddenly out of nowhere forbidden - please watch it lasts only a minute
Love,
