a Christiania protest marchLong running efforts to formalise the status
of Copenhagen’s most famous suburb seem to have reached a deadlock. The
hippie enclave that has squatted on a former army base near the city
centre for four decades initially agreed to proposals from city
administrators but with too many conditions attached.
Carsten Jarlov, representing the Palaces and Properties Agency, says his
party has lost patience, pointing out that the state had already spent
‘20,000 hours and around 20 million kroner’ on resolving the matter.
‘I don’t see the point in meeting again,’ he told public broadcaster DR.
‘Now the courts will have to decide the fate of Christiania.’
