'RESTORATION' MEANS DESTRUCTION

Since Sept. 22 Seoul Metropolitan Government, SMG, together with the Administration of City Development of the Berlin City Government organized an exhibition about the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project, CRP. On many photographs and maps you can see how giant destructive this project finally will become, if you know about the background, the effects for the ordinary people, who are working and living there. If you really watch the pictures and the other materials on the exhibition than you just come to the conclusion that the stream project, the CRP, itself is just an extreme measure reconstruct the entire area between Eulchi-ro, Cheonggyecheon, CGC, Jong-no and the Dongdaemun and Dongdaemun Stadium. But if I was interpreting the material well the final point of this giant reconstruction, aeh... better said destruction project will be far away from there. But lets start from the point of beginning. The first step of CRP was to tear down the Cheonggyecheon Expressway in 2003. During this process in Nov. 2003 finally the Lee Myeong-bak dictatorship, LD, a.k.a. SMG, ordered the expulsion of the street vendors in and around Cheongyecheon 8ga. I joined and wrote an article about the 10 hours battle between them and ggangpae, large riot cop units on the end of Nov. 2003, but I think it was just on www.base21.org and somehow it disappeared. If I understood well they, the struggling street vendors, or some of them, got later places in the Dongdaemun Stadium. The bad surprise about it will come later... The next step, during the reconstruction of the bed of Cheonggyecheon was that LD and the Construction Mafia, CM, ordered the expulsion of the entire population of Eulchi-ro 2ga, Samgag, Suha Dong, because of the plan to tear down all the buildings and construct a giant new sky scraper there.

Until now the plan failed because of the strong resistance of the residents there. I joined and reported several times.

After the GRAND OPENING of new CGC on Oct. 1, WE SHOULD USE THIS DATE TO SHOW OUR PROTEST, the next step will be, if I understood the material right, the start of the Sewoon District Redevelopment, SDR. This plan includes the tearing down of the entire area between Eulchri-ro 3ga, Jong-no 3ga, when you go to Dongdaemun on the right side of Jong-no, Jong-no 4ga and Eulchi-ro 4ga. According to LD the entire area will turn into an internationally large scale business space. The importance of this project you can see, when you read the names of the architects who were asked to build there. Machedo+Silvetti, Kohlhaas, P. Eisenmann... And this is a really huge area with thousands of residents, small workshops, stores... It means that the basis of existence of thousands of families will be extreme endangered. Perhaps, I am just reckoning, the entire area is already sold to the CM and the people who are living and working there, just rented their places, like in Samgag, Suha Dong. And sooner or later they will be just kicked out... I think you can see the plan behind CRP... just a giant resettlement against the will of thousands of poor residents. ALL THE POOR OUT OF THE CITY. THE CITY JUST FOR THE RICH. And SDR will be for sure not the final point of redevelopment, destruction... You just have to follow CGC with open eyes and you will see, understand the entire plan behind CRP... All the small, poor houses will disappear in the near future. And with the houses all the people who used to live and work there. IF WE CANT STOP IT. Once again this areas are the basis of existence for thousands of families. It will be continued soon.

Y'day's "The Korea Times" wrote: "Seoul City said Monday that it will spend 180 billion won ($176 million) to support low-income families..." (the full article you can read here).

But on the same time together with the construction mafia they destroy the basis of existence for thousands of families, such as in Cheongjin-dong or Samgag/Suha-dong

(read releted articles here, here and here).

STOP THIS IDEAS!

LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER AGAINST EXPLOITATION AND OPPRESSION!

Today was 전철연 rally and demonstration. The reason why: in Seongbuk-gu the construction mafia (CM) want to destroy at least one 38 years old “apartment” building (very close to Hanseong University Stn./the building is beginning with “Napoleon Bakery”). Here 127 families are living and in the first floor 130 shops and small businesses are located. All flats and shops are just rented by the people, who are living and working there. In the back side of the building the Samseon Market is located.

The plan of the CM: kick out all the people who rented their flats and/or work places and build a new apartment building just for rich people.

When the plans of the CM are successful also the people who have market booths behind the building will lose their basis of existence.

So since some month the people, who are living and working there started to resist against the plans of the CM and today they held the first organized large rally in front of Seongbuk-gu Office (성북구청). In the beginning about 160 activists gathered in front of the district office. Yeon Yeong-seok played some of his protest songs and the activists demanded the stop of the plans to tear down the building.

Later a demonstration was held through the area, where many houses are on the possible list of tearing down in the near future. On the demo route we passed a construction site, where already rented houses were torn down for the new construction… of a church.

The demonstration ended in front of the “apartment” building where the most of the activists are living and/or working. The final rally, or better said a kind of culture festival (Park Joon, Song Factory and others performed their songs and dances), finished by a traditional ceremony to strengthen the struggle against the CM and a getting-together with food and drinks for about 200 activists.

After all, the future of their struggle will be very excitingly and – so the activists promised – extraordinarily strong. WE JUST SHOULD TO SUPPORT THIS STRUGGLE!!! (Tomorrow more about that issue, because now we, Mahbub and me, we have to leave for a party on Yeouido/민주노동당)

Here the call for today's rally:

1. 언제나 민중이 주인 되는 세상 을 위해 선도적인 투쟁을 전개하고 계시는 동지들에게 연대의 인사를 드립니다.

2. 하월곡 2지구 개발지역에선 철거깡패들의 횡포로 인해 지역주민들이 강제이주를 당하고 있습니다. 아무런 대책도 없이 길거리로 내몰리게 된 철거민들은 지역에 상주하고 있는 철거깡패들과 폭력경찰들로 인해 살고있던 생가마저 싹쓸이 강제철거를 당하고 주민들은 성북구청에서 주거생존권을 요구하며 매일집회와 노숙투쟁을 하고 있습니다.

3. 또한 같은 성북구에 위치한 삼선동 삼선시장 역시 개발로 인해 자신이 수십년간 장사를 하며 살아온 삶의 터전을 졸지에 잃어버리고 길거리로 내몰릴 위기에 처해있어 주민들이 자주적으로 철거민 대책위원회를 구성하였고 이제 본격적인 투쟁에 돌입하고자 여러 동지들을 모시고 현판식을 진행. 조직적인 투쟁을 전개하려 합니다.

4. 위의 월곡동의 성북구청 앞 집회를 마치고 곧바로 삼선시장으로 이동하여 다음과 같이 현판식을 진행하려합니다.
