We receive and publish this statement, which is the sole responsibility of its author.
The outpouring of aggression in the statements of Messrs. Estrosi, Ciotti, and Lamy against the women, men, and children who have occupied the building at 1 rue Clémenceau no longer surprises us.
Eager to stigmatize the most vulnerable populations (let us remember the Roma), always eager to propagate the nauseating ideas of the extreme right, they are launching a new offensive against people whose only crime is refusing to live outside as winter approaches.
An intolerable crime in the eyes of a minister and a deputy who continuously shower gifts on the wealthiest!
The real crime in this case, the reprehensible attitude, is that of a government and its representatives who force children and their parents to live on the street.
Those who violate the laws of the Republic are those who flout the “right to housing and to live with dignity” enshrined in the preamble of our Constitution.
The minister of industry, so zealous in calling for the application of the law against these families plunged into extreme precariousness, is much less zealous when confronting rogue employers.
Today, the fight for respect for human dignity is to allow—whatever the reason for their presence and their legal status—men, women, and children to be able to live (or survive) with dignity.
The communists and communist elected officials stand in solidarity with these men, women, and children who refuse to live on the streets.
We call on the public authorities to enable everyone to have access to decent housing!
