Montpellier protests over family eviction and homelessness

A group of approximately fifteen people gathered in front of the Montpellier city hall on October 22 to protest against homelessness and recent evictions. The demonstration was organized by the collective ‘Un Toit Un Avenir’.

The protest follows the police eviction of a mother with a disability and her three daughters from their private residence of nineteen years. Despite being recognized as a priority for housing under the Dalo law, the family was reportedly left without accommodation. The collective highlighted that the legal timeframe for the prefecture to provide housing has been exceeded, and legal action has been initiated through the administrative tribunal.
