French police clear refugee camps in Paris but city authorities complain dispersal is not the solution, instead asylum seekers need proper housing
Refugees take their belongings as French police evacuate hundreds of refugees living in a makeshift camp set up under the Porte de la Chapelle ring bridge in Paris, France. January 29, 2019.
"I will no longer tolerate these installations by the roadside here or anywhere else on public spaces in Paris," Paris police prefect Didier Lallement told reporters at the scene. Since the closure of "the jungle", a huge refugee camp in Calais, in 2016, many refugees have moved to Paris, which has repeatedly broken up camps only to see them pop up again in different areas a few months later.
"Dispersal operations are no solution. Our country needs to provide permanent and proper housing while people's asylum applications are considered," he said on France Info radio.
