French police start moving migrants from northern Paris site
2019-11-29
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] French police started moving migrants colonists from an illegal camp site in northern Gay Paree on Thursday, as the government aims to show it is taking a tougher stance on illegal immigration.

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.
