In a major crackdown, French riot police forcibly evicted more than 400 young migrants from the Gaite Lyrique cultural centre in Paris where they had been occupying for three months. Despite significant protests and support from local politicians, the police operation proceeded early Tuesday morning, resulting in brief clashes. Many of the migrants, reportedly unaccompanied minors, had already left the premises, and those remaining faced inadequate relocation solutions, prompting ongoing tensions between protesters and law enforcement.
French riot police carried out a raid at dawn, forcibly evicting over 400 young migrants from the Gaite Lyrique cultural centre in Paris.
Despite the efforts of supporters, only a few occupants remained inside when police arrived, as most had vacated due to mounting pressure.
In the aftermath of the evictions, tensions rose as clashes erupted between police and protesters who sought to defend the young migrants.
Lawmakers criticized the housing solution offered to evicted migrants, deeming it unsatisfactory and inadequate for those with local ties to Paris.
