According to the Associated Press report on the 16th, French police and city officials are evacuating hundreds of refugees who have been living on the streets of northern Paris for weeks. This is the latest in a series of attempts by France to solve the refugee problem.
Paris City Hall said the government had implemented two evacuations on a section of sidewalk beneath an elevated metro line near the Montmartre area. Women and children were sent to temporary shelters, while men are still being evacuated.
France-Info said that there are at least 1,500 refugees living here, from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Sudan and other countries.
The Paris government has carried out several similar operations in the same area this year. The mayor of Paris says dozens of refugees arrive every day and he is planning to build a reception center nearby.
According to Reuters earlier reports, right-wing elements in the eastern German city of Bautzen clashed with refugees on Wednesday night.
According to the police, about 80 young men and women gathered in the city center that night. They drank beer and shouted slogans that the city belonged to the Germans. Standing opposite them were about 20 unaccompanied teenage refugees (under 18 years old). Subsequently, the two sides began to verbally attack each other and throw wine bottles, wooden boards and other debris.
Police formed a human wall to separate the two sides. Immediately, some refugees threw objects at the police, who used pepper spray and batons. After the refugees left, they were followed by a group of Germans. Police later told young refugees in the shelter not to go out. Local criminal police have launched an investigation into a breach of the peace and grievous bodily harm.
The conflict showed that German attitudes towards refugees are deteriorating due to the massive influx of refugees over the past year, the report said. When a refugee shelter opened in February, some observers welcomed it, but others blocked it.
At this time, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been widely criticized for her open attitude towards refugees. Merkel's policies allowed about 1 million refugees to enter Germany last year. While the criticism has depressed Merkel's approval rating, it has boosted support for the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party.
Merkel said early Thursday that Germany needs "feasible solutions" to integrate refugees into the workforce more quickly.
