Valentine Day Violence…
The very few people who were symbolically occupying an unfinished building which was promised to the Borei Keila community more than 2 years ago if the development company Phanimex had not ‘unfortunately’ run out of money to finish the last 2 of 10 buildings, were roughhandedly expelled at 6:30 AM by municipal guards wearing ‘Lucky’ helmets. Some of them were carrying heavy metal bars used in reinforced concrete. Several people were wounded.
