review
a deliberately subjective review
book on the referendum
On the anniversary of the citizens' decision on 12 November 2006, the citizens initiative "Housing is a Human Right" published a book to document the less than eight months imagining fought against the city by Lord Mayor Dieter Salomon planned sale of flats. It is a deliberately subjective review now. They largely dispensed with all the complicated arguments for or against the home sale as a supposedly last resort to fiscal consolidation. Instead, those who speak out, the referendum has helped to success. "With incredible dedication, with unprecedented creativity and a lot of courage," as co-editor Günter accounted for intoxication. In the Fact can be based on contributions to understand how the initial shock, as the Mayor's thoughts on a possible flat sale made public its decision immediately organized resistance, bundled in a citizens' initiative and after some initial doubts Strategically headed for the referendum. The contributions also show how personal involvement may motivate political pitching in, neighborhood workers describe the fears, representatives of tenants' initiatives describe the failed town meetings, an artist tells how the posters are being created, a parish priest reported the protest in his community. And of course, include also members of the municipal council of the authors. And take the opportunity, such as Michael Moss of the independent lists, to attest to black-green alliance in the municipal council neo-liberal tendencies.
The 175 pages are a fascinating look back at an exciting local political debate. However, the analysis remains in the woodcut-style illustration of the good guys in the Citizen Initiative and the evil in the administration and municipal council. This is not the problem then just days. Despite, or perhaps because of, the contributions may well serve as a blueprint for the resistance elsewhere. Not least the nationwide interest in the successful extra-parliamentary opposition the scales given to make this book.
