'Worse than Calais' Thousands protest three migrant camps minutes from Versailles Palace
|
[EXPRESS.CO.UK] ANTI-MIGRANT anger continues to boil over as the French Government pushes ahead with plans to force thousands of migrants colonists onto cities all across the country without consulting them at all
More than 1,000 protesters marched through the city close to Gay Paree to protest the decision to build migrant camps in three neighbouring towns.
The new centre means hundreds of migrants colonists will be housed just minutes from the luxurious Palace of Versailles, the former home of French royalty which attracts millions of tourists every year.
Protesters voiced their anger during the Saturday march after the plans were approved without their say.
The migrant centres will be open in Louveciennes, Rocquencourt and Yvelines - less than a twenty minute drive to the French Palace.
Opposition groups fear that the camps "could become worse than Calais".
Up to 400 migrants colonists will be housed in each centre, as protesters complained that they were "setting up Calais in our own towns".
Demonstrations against the Government's decision follows President Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist...
's vow to tear down the Calais Jungle camp to replace it with "mini-Jungles" across the country.
Banners on the march read ’migrant camp = irresponsible state’ while others shouted out "resistance" and "we are the people".
The mayor of Louveciennes, Pierre-Francois Viard, where one migrant centre will be opened in early November, said that the state's project can gone ahead "without any consultation".
He railed against the plans which he said "will cause problems".
The mayor then called for continued "protests against the confirmed centres of migrants colonists in Louveciennes, Rocquencourt and now we are told in Yvelines".
