"Christiania's Battle Against Drug Gangs: Copenhagen's Cannabis Street Cleared"

Residents of Christiania, Denmark, joined authorities to tear up cobblestones on Pusher Street, known for drug sales, as part of a renewal project to combat rising crime and insecurity. The enclave, once a libertarian, hippie paradise, has been plagued by drug violence, prompting locals to take a stand against the situation. The removal of cobblestones marks the first step in integrating the community into the Danish capital, with plans for new infrastructure and housing. Residents hope to return to the founding ideals of art, culture, and collective living, aiming to create a peaceful and welcoming environment.
