Montpellier social and human rights protests

Overview

Protests in Montpellier have addressed various human rights and social welfare concerns. In early October, between 300 and 400 people marched to oppose the planned construction of an administrative detention center (CRA) in Béziers. Activists and representatives from Cimade Montpellier challenged a prefectural decree, describing such centers as ‘zones of lawlessness’ where detainees face difficulties accessing healthcare and food.

Later in the month, a smaller demonstration organized by the collective ‘Un Toit Un Avenir’ took place at the Montpellier city hall. This protest focused on homelessness and recent evictions, specifically following the police removal of a mother with a disability and her three children from their long-term residence. The organizers noted that the family was left without accommodation despite being a priority for housing under the Dalo law.
