Squatting in Romania began in the capital Bucharest in the eighteenth century. After the Romanian Revolution in 1989, laws were abolished and the state had no land management policy. Problems with the state provision of housing have pushed people into squatting in areas such as Ferentari. The first public squat in Romania was Carol 53, occupied in 2012.
