For several months, buses full of homeless people and migrants sent by the state have been flocking to Orléans. The city’s mayor, Serge Grouard, wonders about a potential “clearance” operation for the Olympics.
On the morning of Tuesday March 26, on the outskirts of Orléans (Loiret), 26 homeless people and migrants arrived from Île-de-France in buses chartered by the State, due to the saturation of emergency centers. emergency accommodation in the capital. Were these families and children displaced for the Games? oParis Olympics? The mayor of Orléans, Serge Grouard (diver right), deplores not being associated with these operations.
The approach of the Olympics, a “disturbing coincidence” according to the mayor (I added “disturbing” otherwise it would have been a contradiction)
“Since around May 2023, buses, one every three weeks or so, have arrived from Paris to Orléans”he explains to the France Télévisions teams. “The coincidence” with the approach of the Olympics “is when even somewhat disturbing”, adds the city councilor. A hotel serves as a regional airlock for three weeks. Homeless people from Île-de-France will be cared for in these rooms. In ten months, the system welcomed 519 people. The Loiret prefecture for its part refutes the idea of “clean place” in Paris for the Olympic Games.
