At the initiative of Pinar Selek, a sociologist and coordinator of the migration observatory in the Alpes-Maritimes, and despite disruptions caused by anti-immigration activists.
Two to three thousand people marched this Saturday afternoon behind the banner of “All to the Borders!” to denounce, in particular, “European migration policies.”
For Pinar Selek, who is being prosecuted in her country, “it is very important to succeed in this transnational feminist action to show that women in migration account for 54% in Europe but remain invisible, as well as all sexual and gender minorities.”
Since 2015 and the peak of migrant arrivals, the policies implemented have not reduced the flow but have increased the violence migrants are subjected to.
The intrusion of a few anti-immigration activists before the start of the march caused some scuffles and led to about ten arrests by the national and municipal police.
