Question 1691 — Travelers

Summary

Ms Claire Marais-Beuil draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the illegal occupation of land by certain members of the Traveler community. The “Besson” law of July 5, 2000 determined the conditions relating to the reception and housing of Travelers. Among the elements of the regulation is the adoption of a departmental reception and housing plan for Travelers which determines in particular the sectors where There must be permanent reception areas. The maintenance and management of these areas is the responsibility of the intercommunal authorities. A difference in treatment exists between municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants, automatically included in the departmental plan, and those with less than 5,000 inhabitants which are not subject to it. Many territories are seeing an increase in illegal parking which, in addition to the illegal nature which is not not admissible, very often risk creating serious disturbances to public order. Although the mayor has special police powers in the event of illegal parking, it is clear that in practice municipalities and their residents often find themselves helpless in the face of these situations. Far from any stigmatization of the lifestyle of the Traveler community, current illicit occupations require real control taken into account by the State. Serious tensions sometimes even go so far as to generate a threat to the physical integrity of mayors or residents. Consequently, she asks him to please inform her of the measures that could be taken to allow better respect for the law as well as increased protection of both people and property.
