Ulrik Winding used to work at the youth centre in Copenhagen, and said the squatters had been there for 24 years. The city council is responsible for the riots, he said. It's a right-wing Christian group that bought it.

Christian Barndorff, the spokesman of a local residents network, said the young people who were evicted hadn't been there for 24 years. There are people who use violent methods, he said and the group christian group had offered them another house, but they refused it. They are spoiled young people.

Ulrk said they were ordinary working people.

Listeth, who also lives in the area, said you can't generalise about the people from the centre. They are not all violent people. She says the young people hadn't refused all the offers made to them and they had been misled by the mayor. She is shocked and disapproves of the violence. Her daughter and her daughter's friend were arrested when they hadn't done anything.

Christan said the demonstrations started peacefully. The police told people to leave the area. They didn't go and were arrested.

Ulrik said there's a lack of justice.

Christian said everything has been done by the book and the activists started the violence. They need to redefine their view of the world.

Listeth said that when you undermine youth and their voices they get into trouble. The mayor has to do something.
