Towards a way out of the crisis? The State undertakes to offer “systematically” accommodation for migrants who will be evicted from their makeshift camps in Calais, where a collective hunger strike puts pressure on the government as it enters the winter truce. The proposal, which will be officially formulated to local actors on Tuesday November 2 by the government mediator sent on site, comes on the 23rd day of a hunger strike initiated by three activists.
“We will systematically offer accommodation, which will be essentially in Pas-de-Calais, in Hauts-de-France, but not in Calais”, told AFP this mediator, the boss of the French Office for Immigration and Integration (Ofii), Didier Leschi. The latter thus recognized, de facto, that the evacuations of camps in Calais were not always accompanied by proposals for sheltering, which is however the rule. To keep its commitment, the State will have to “increase its accommodation base” of “several hundred places”, he stressed.
These proposals could come into force as soon as “the weekend”, estimated Didier Leschi, who must meet the strikers at the end of the morning on Tuesday, then the associations at the beginning of the afternoon, to transmit these written commitments.
