The evacuation began this morning shortly after 6 am in a tense atmosphere between the police and the migrants. Waiting for accommodation, they had been occupying the Gaîté Lyrique, the Parisian cultural establishment, since mid-December.
Tensions are currently ongoing outside the cultural establishment. The police prefect ordered the evacuation of the exiles this Tuesday, adding that he would call on law enforcement in case of refusal to leave the premises.
The migrants, who have been settled since December 10th, demand recognition of their minority status and stable housing. They denounce the fact that the State only offers temporary solutions in the region and believe that «the solution is not to move us elsewhere.»
