Solidarity from the Ministry of the Housing Crisis in Paris

The Ministry of the Housing Crisis was created earlier this January in 
Paris (Rue de la Banque) , very close
to the Paris Stock Exchange, when three active  groups working towards 
the Right to a Decent
Home, Housing Rights and Evictions, occupied the entire building . ( DAL 
<http://www.globenet.org/dal/> , Jeudi Noir <http://www.jeudi-noir.org/> 
and Macaq <http://www.macaq.org/>)

At present more than 50 homeless families lives in the Ministry .

Here below is a call for solidarity for a recent treat of eviction of 
more than 80 families beacause of the
social cleansing for the Rugby World Cup taking place in Paris.  As 
already many evictions experienced
in  London for the preparation of the Olympic Degeneration ( an  many 
more evictions to come).

Rights".

Paris 7th September

After yesterday eviction of 80 families camping with tents in 
Aubervillers, the situation this
morning is getting harder and harder...

The 80 families slept ruff over night without covers. Covers were 
confiscated by the police at around 8 pm...   No concrete proposition, 
no negotiation with the mayor. At the moment families are still 
determined to stay there and reclaim their right to a decent home... 
(droit aux lougement ). The police is everywhere and very oppressive ....

There is urgent need of help and solidarity on the site ...

PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR LIST - FRIENDS in FRANCE

Paris   6th September 2007

*Eviction is taking  place in the emergency camp of Aubervilliers* where 
more than 80 families has been living
looking for temporary accomodation for more than 3 months.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4230298.stm


*The Social Cleansing before the rugby world cup is on its way ...

*After this moring at 7 :30 AM a big police operation, under the 
instruction of the Sub-commander of Saint Denis, evicted the emergency 
community of Aubervilliers. More than 80 families are treated with 
expulsion after having lived in the site for more than 3 months.
Delegates of families are being questioned and the police is starting to 
take the tens down and asking the children to return from  school. The 
camp is located along the wall of the school Joilot Curie, in the 
neigbourood of Maladreire.

Despite families and associations have been asking to open the 
negotiations with the Major from more than 3 months, the Municipality 
and the Police of St Denis  decided to use violence and eviction, rather 
than answer to the questions of this families :  the right to have a 
stable and decent home.

We denounce this decision of the Public authorities and of the 
Municipality of Aubervilliers, while the social cleansing is proceeding 
fast in all the regions of Paris, the suburbs and the other big cities.

We are asking one more time the opening of the negotiations with the 
public authorities, and a City/Government  "round table" together with 
delegates and representative of families and we are demanding to help 
the evicted families in this place or with any other possible ways of 
accomodation.

Press and meeting point at 12 pm on the camp.

Meeting and organization for solidarity this evening at 6pm.

La situation est de plus en plus tendue à Aubervilliers, suite à 
l'évacuation des tentes hier, les 80 familles ont passé la nuit dehors 
sans les bâches retirées par la police vers 20h. Aucune proposition 
concrète, aucune négociation avec la mairie, les familles sont toujours 
déterminées à rester sur place pour faire valoir leur au droit au 
logement.... La police est omniprésente et oppressante....

*Urgent besoin de soutien, de militants-e-s sur place.
