The government assumes the expulsion of a convicted rioter and his relatives from the social housing they occupied in Val-d’Oise, said Friday the Secretary of State in charge of the City, Sabrina Agresti-Roubache. Asked whether she assumed this desire to evict convicted rioters from their social housing, the Secretary of State replied to the microphone of RMC / BFM TV: “yes, for public tranquility”.
“As long as we haven’t lived next to families of delinquents who ruin your life every day (…) yes, they have no place in social housing, I have no problem living there. ‘assume,’ she said. “Conviction equals eviction from social housing, that does not bother me (…) When you are a parent, you have a responsibility. When you have brothers and sisters to take care of, you have a responsibility to stay in within the framework of the law,” she continued.
sharp criticism
A man sentenced to 12 months in prison for having taken part, at the end of June, in urban violence in Val-d’Oise, was expelled on Wednesday with his relatives from the social housing they occupied. This operation, publicized Wednesday evening on the X account (formerly Twitter) of the prefect of Val-d’Oise, with several photos and under the keyword #DroitsEtDuvoirs, aroused strong criticism.
“The purpose of this expulsion is linked to the fact that this person looted a store (in Deuil-la-Barre, editor’s note). It also turns out, in this case, that there was already another reason for expulsion, therefore, to save time, we executed a pre-existing expulsion judgment”, the prefect of Val-d’Oise Philippe Court told AFP on Thursday. Several nights of violence, ransacking of public buildings and looting across France had followed the death of Nahel, 17, killed on June 27 at close range by a police officer during a traffic check in Nanterre (Hauts-de- Seine).
