French Police Clear Last Migrant Camp in North Paris
|
 [AnNahar] French police on Tuesday cleared the last migrant tent camp in northeast Gay Paree, moving 427 people to shelters as part of a plan to take migrants colonists off the streets.
The migrants colonists, who included four women, were living in 266 tents and makeshift shelters in a canal-side camp "strewn with waste and refuse, overrun by rats and giving off a pestilent and foul-smelling odour of urine and excrement", according to the authorities.
The operation to tear down the camp began at 6:00 am (0500 GMT) and lasted two hours, the regional prefecture said.
Dozens of informal settlements have sprung up in recent years around the French capital.
Many of the migrants colonists have their sights on the northern Channel port of Calais, a jump-off point for crossings to Britannia.
The authorities regularly tear down the camps, saying they pose a health hazard.
'Health hazard'... yes, both short and long-term.
Last week, police moved more than 1,400 migrants colonists, including 93 children, from another camp in northern Gay Paree.
Interior Minister Christophe Castaner had promised to clear all migrant camps from the city by the end of last year, in part by opening more shelters for asylum seekers but also by deporting those whose claims are rejected.
Police are being deployed to ensure migrants colonists do not return to the razed camps or set up new ones.
"We are not going to resume a never-ending cycle of evacuations followed by new installations," Gay Paree police chief Didier Lallement said last week.
But critics say that unless the government provides long-term lodgings or the prospect of legal residency,
| ...or possibly — though this is a radical thought, I know — send them all back where they came from... |
many migrants colonists will just return to the streets.
President Emmanuel Macron said last year that La Belle France must end its "lax" approach to immigration.
