| 2019-11-29 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] French police started moving Local police said in a statement they would be moving between 200-300 people from the site in northern Gay Paree’ Porte d’Aubervilliers, and put them up in shelters. Since the closure of a huge migrant camp in Calais in 2016, many refugees have moved to Gay Paree. Authorities have repeatedly dismantled illegal campsites only to see them pop up again in different areas a few months later. Earlier this month, President Emmanuel Macron’s government pledged to clear out some migrant tent camps, impose quotas for migrant workers and deny newly-arrived asylum seekers access to non-urgent healthcare, in a response to voters’ concerns about immigration. |
