Question 13514 — Travelers

Summary

Mr. Guy Bricout draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the behavior of Travelers. Indeed, some arriving with hundreds of caravans have gotten into the habit of squatting, either on old runways belonging to disused air bases, or even industrial wastelands, also using illegal connections to drinking water or electricity networks. The consequence is that those responsible local authorities can't take it anymore, for example the municipality of Niergnies. Unfortunately, despite the good will of local elected officials, it still happens too often that the infrastructures, built and then made available to the applicants, are ransacked, vandalized and thus the tension rises to the point that the police are called to put an end to the incivility and other threats towards the elected officials as well as the populations. The Government is asked to guarantee the right to property, to compensate the victims and to prosecute the perpetrators of this destruction. Even if nomadism is a right deriving from natural law since there were once, in the history of humanity, peoples seeking means of subsistence in nature before they became sedentary, the general interest is that the needs of the parties are satisfied, he asks him to provide clarification on this question.
