The National Rally of Calais welcomed in a press release this coming, an " admission " according to him of " the ineffectiveness of his predecessor ", Christophe Castaner. The party demands that a “ zero migrant ” policy be implemented in Calais “ without waiting ”. State services and the police expelled Friday more than 500 migrants from an industrial area of Calais and took them to reception centers or administrative detention.
According to the authorities, the occupation of two lands " illegally and prolonged by migrants in the absence of any authorization from the owners ", in the Dunes area, caused " serious problems of security, sanitation and tranquility, especially for local residents located just nearby and around. "
" A real manhunt has been deployed to try to make the migrants disappear by taking them willingly or by force in chartered buses, to bring them to an unknown destination ", deplored in a joint statement several associations of assistance to migrants (La cabane juridique, Utopia 56, Human rights observers).
