Toulouse: after blocking the avenue des Etats-Unis this Friday, the sixty caravans settled on the Ile du Ramier
Dozens of caravans settled this Friday evening on the Ile du Ramier. An illegal occupation contested by the town hall of Toulouse. An eviction procedure will be initiated.
After the expulsion this Friday from the municipalities of Bruguières and Lespinasse, north of Toulouse, the sixty caravans settled in a parking lot on the Île du Ramier in Toulouse.
Since November, more than 70 caravans have illegally occupied the parking lot of the Bascala theater in Bruguières and that of a logistics warehouse at the Capitole theater in Lespinasse. This Friday morning, following a prefectural decision, the gendarmerie company of Toulouse-Saint-Michel proceeded to the evacuation of two illegal installations of itinerant French citizens (CFI).
Following this operation, which mobilized around sixty soldiers, the displaced occupants decided to block the traffic lanes near the Avenue des Etats-Unis in Toulouse. A maneuver that greatly slowed traffic throughout the sector this Friday evening.
The town hall of Toulouse will launch a procedure
Then after several hours of negotiations, the convoy decided to move to take the direction of the abandoned car park of the former Parc des expositions de l’Île du Ramier in Toulouse. They entered by force before settling near the vaccinodrome. An occupation that displeases the municipality. “The town hall of Toulouse will quickly initiate legal proceedings in order to obtain the expulsion of itinerant French citizens”, assures the town hall of Toulouse.
As a reminder, the reception areas of the city of Toulouse are currently all occupied, as is the high-traffic area located in La Mounède.
