Squatting in Norway

Squatting in Norway is taking possession of land or an empty house without the permission of the owner.

The first public occupation was Hjelmsgate 3 in 1969 and self-managed social centres which were first squatted and then legalized include the Blitz House, Hausmania and UFFA.

[1][3] Blitz is a self-managed social centre which hosts radiOrakel (a feminist radio station), a bookshop, a music venue and a vegan café.

In 2014, the site was evicted again in a large police operation, which closed nearby roads.

It houses a bookshop, a cafe, a concert space and offices for the anarchist newspaper Folk & Røvere.
