They have been wandering for more than a month in Seine-Saint-Denis.
Thirty women and twenty children of Ivorian and Malian origin settled in a camp at Josette-et-Maurice-Audin park in Bagnolet should soon be expelled.
According to
Le Parisien
, the administrative court of Montreuil indeed rejected Tuesday August 16 the request of the MyMaraude association which claimed that these undocumented migrants be rehoused in a municipal gymnasium.
Asked to leave the park, some migrants refuse accommodation offered by the State
These families had already been accommodated there at the beginning of July.
The prefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis had indeed requisitioned the Jean-Reneault gymnasium to “
urgently shelter populations in a situation of great precariousness
”, explains in a press release the city of Bagnolet.
But on August 4, the prefecture informed the city that “
the work of long-term sheltering is coming to an end, and with it, the end of the requisition of the gymnasium
”.
Women and children had been expelled.

But even though accommodation solutions had been offered to them by the State, some mothers had preferred to settle in the Josette-et-Maurice-Audin park.
“
Some of them refused the proposal made to them by the State
”, confirms the town hall in this sense.
On August 18, new shelter proposals were submitted to the families.
Only four of them accepted these offers, the town hall said in a press release.
“
Faced with these repeated refusals to take charge, the tools that are those of the public authorities prove to be inefficient
”, deplores the municipality.
"
Today, the City cannot mobilize more resources
", adds one, specifying that "
all the legal tools will be mobilized, without exception, to put an end to these illegal occupations
".
