The Paris school possessed by many vagrants

The unapproved occupation by transients of a Paris auxiliary school is centering personalities on how the nation will adapt if the present inrush of shelter seekers quickens.

The Lycee Jean Quarre in the multi-ethnic nineteenth arrondissement was assumed control toward the start of August. Today it houses around 300 refuge seekers and monetary vagrants for the most part from Sudan, Afghanistan and Eritrea. These are individuals who before were dozing unpleasant or in tents in the city.

The spot is not precisely salubrious. The school had really been decommissioned and was sitting unfilled. The building is in the primary sound, however there are dribbling roofs and the power removes irregularly.

The vagrants mull over sleeping cushions around 20 to a room. They do their best to keep it clean, however it is uncovered and grimy. Outside in the yard, the young fellows play b-ball, football and cricket.

Calais course "risky"

Tanguy Lyonnet of the aggregate La Chapelle en Lutte (The Struggle of La Chapelle) let me know that there was a major turnover at the school. Few stay long.

"A few individuals move out to better convenience gave by the official affiliations. Others need to move north - to Calais. In any case, this we firmly exhort against," he says.

Why? "Since the camp there is not sheltered; and in light of the fact that individuals get slaughtered attempting to cross to the UK."

This is intriguing on the grounds that it demonstrates how the individuals who prompt the transients are unwittingly discouraging so as to see after British approach individuals from taking the Calais course.
