After Calais, France Prepares to Clear Migrant Camp in Paris.

by Breitbart London3 Nov 201650 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER In twin actions that epitomised Europe’s failure to adequately cater for the waves of refugees that have reached its shores since early 2015, the last migrants left the Calais camp while some 3,000 prepared for what might be their last night under canvas near the capital’s Stalingrad metro station.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has said the Stalingrad camp would be torn down by the end of the week. As France gears up for a wide-open presidential election with immigration a hot-button theme on the campaign trail, a ministry insider said that process could begin on Friday morning. The socialist mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, is building two temporary sites to house 1,000 migrants, but wants those at Stalingrad to be sheltered elsewhere first. “There aren’t enough places for all of us,” said one Afghan migrant who identified himself as Naviid, echoing the concern of others over where they will be sent.

Many of the migrants camped out along Stalingrad’s boulevards are Africans fleeing war and poverty. Some arrived in Paris from Calais, other spent time in other European countries and deciding their best chances of a better future lay in France. On one afternoon this week, scores repeated aloud French phrases in an open-air class run by volunteers. “People help us here. They bring us food and clothing,” said one Somali migrant who previously spent two years in Denmark. “In Denmark, people didn’t much like refugees.” (By Cyril Camu and Pascal Rossignol.
