" It's intolerable !
» denounces this Wednesday, on X (formerly Twitter), Paris en Commun 15e.
Just a few hours before the Night of Solidarity, the left-wing political group calls in a press release on all elected officials to gather on Thursday January 25, at 5 p.m., in front of the regional prefecture (5, rue Leblanc) and demand accommodation of several families who live on the street and whose children go to school in the 15th arrondissement of the capital.
“In the Balard district, at least 9 families do not have an accommodation solution,” the press release states.
Schooled in Félix-Faure, Jongkind, Varet, Frères-Voisin, Rouelle, Sextius-Michel and Saint-Charles schools, the children and their families have been in this situation for several weeks already.
The Île-de-France prefecture, alerted and questioned in December by a collective of residents and teachers, has not yet offered any accommodation solution to families.
“The State's mission is to open emergency accommodation to house homeless people,” insists Paris en commun.
“This fight goes beyond all political divisions,” the group also declared, also inviting “all citizens” to join the movement.
Today, at least 9 families whose children attend school in the 15th do not have fixed accommodation.
Many of us will participate in the rally this Thursday to ask the prefecture to quickly find an accommodation solution for these families.
