On June 11th, unrest recurred in the French capital of Paris when approximately 300 people, mostly homeless immigrants and supporters, occupied a four-story building in the X district.

The incident occurred after city authorities cleared a series of makeshift camps set up by illegal immigrants north of the capital earlier this week.

Police forces were deployed in increased numbers to the area, while government representatives attempted to persuade the immigrants to leave the building.

Earlier this week, during a protest against police dismantling tents, clashes occurred and police arrested approximately 100 people.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that the irresponsible actions and statements of some officials had escalated tensions.

According to Mr. Cazeneuve, the issue of housing for illegal immigrants is being used for political purposes. Previously, the Green Party and several other parties had accused the French government of violating the rights of immigrants.

Recently, the French authorities have taken strong measures to dismantle the camps of illegal immigrants.

According to the head of the French Interior Ministry, all illegal immigrants detained in Paris will be provided with temporary accommodation until their cases are clarified and a legal decision is made regarding their possibility of being granted asylum in France.
