Calais jungle: Justice decided to keep the stalls – The Point

All the shops run by migrants who flourished in the “jungle” of Calais will be able to remain open. The Lille administrative judge on Friday rejected the closure request by the Prefecture of Pas-de-Calais, determined not to let this continue wild camp, where 9,000 migrants have been identified by two associations Friday. In its order, the judge considered that “the concerns expressed by the Prefect of Pas-de-Calais are quite understandable” but that “emergency conditions and utility required” by law “are not fulfilled do right “at its request” that are expelled managers of 72 illegal sales structures identified “on the site.

the judge Jean-François Molla does not dispute that these businesses” do not benefit from no administrative authorization “and that” certain structures [...] do not respect the most basic health rules. ” However, he points out, “these grocery stores, cafes, restaurants perform other functions” that the power of migrants who “live in conditions of extreme hardship and total idleness.” These places, he adds, “are meeting places between migrants subsided and with [the] volunteer [...]“.

“We ask, because we are managers in the public domain, the administrative court to order the eviction and rehabilitation of 72 illegal sales outlets in the northern area “of Calais migrant camp, claimed Etienne Desplanques, Chief of the prefect of Pas Fabienne de-Calais Buccio, attended the hearing Wednesday morning at the Lille tribunal.

Seized in chambers, the judge has rendered its decision on Friday. This procedure “is a continuation of the police operation carried out in July,” said Stephen Desplanques. Between 18 and 21 July, all informal businesses in the “jungle” had been controlled by the authorities, and 18 people had been taken into custody, suspected of “vending”. “Forty-two judicial proceedings were conducted with seizure and destruction of more than 30 m3 of various goods, including 19 kilos of damaged goods,” had said the prefecture.



“Hawking”

it supports its determination to destroy the businesses in the “jungle” of Calais continuing their managers for “wrongful occupation of public property in order to practice illegal activity”, in this case the “short sale run “, told Agence France-Presse prosecutor Boulogne-sur-Mer, Calais whose jurisdiction depends, Pascal Marconville. Thus, “about fifteen people” are prosecuted misdemeanor for “vending”, an offense punishable by six months imprisonment and must appear before the Boulogne court on 4 October. “There is a proliferation of places of sale and settling of accounts between managers. All this is not acceptable, it is a humanitarian camp, it must remain a humanitarian camp, there is no room for profit, “said the chief of staff of the prefect.

whether it is the first step of a future decommissioning for Mr. Desplanques the answer is “no.” “The issue of illegal sale of premises is completely separate, it has nothing to do,” he insisted, although “the question of the future of the north” is “always ask”. The authorities have always claimed that the camp called “moor” was not meant to last. The southern area of ​​the camp was completely cleared in February. But for François Guennoc, L’Auberge migrants, the will to eradicate business is a “clumsy and dangerous operation symbolic” that “aims to meet the port authorities and the municipality of Calais who clamoring dismantling” the “jungle”.

9000 migrants identified

the official said the government “is trying to show how he control the situation.” But “not afford to destroy the camp because there are too many people and not enough seats in CAD”, these reception centers and guidance that the State has opened all over France Calais to accommodate refugees. François Guennoc recognizes that “the health and safety conditions of these restaurants are not adequate”, but ensures that their closure will exacerbate tensions in the camp, where more than 9000 migrants were recorded, ie 2 000 more that in July, said Friday two associations.

the state is sticking for now with the number of migrants 4500, results from counts taken June 13 A new census by the border police is to take place next week, said the prefecture of Pas-de-Calais, which has almost always challenged the credibility of the figures provided by the associations. The new associative count, directed by Auberge Help Refugees and Migrants from 6 to 9 August reported 9,106 people living in the jungles of Calais, whose 1500 CAP (temporary reception center) and 250 in the center Jules Ferry. Of these 9106 people, these associations have 865 miners, 676 unaccompanied.

“There is no room to install the tents given to newcomers. The proximity of the shelter makes considerable risk of fire, “also informed the associations. The Auberge des migrants is lengthening queues at the distribution of meals by associations. This expectation, which sometimes lasts several hours according to the associations, “can lead to fights,” as it is produced more in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the population of Grande-Synthe camp, thirty kilometers to the east, slowly decreases. “We have more outlets than revenues, so the camp was reduced gradually from itself today with just under 800 residents,” said a relative of environmentalist mayor Damien Lent.
