Question 41591 — Travelers

Summary

Ms. Natalia Pouzyreff draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior regarding the illegal occupation of public or private land by Travelers. The law of July 5, 2000 No. 2000-614, which establishes the principle of welcoming Travelers and promotes the balance between freedom of movement, decency of installation conditions and the concern of elected officials to avoid illicit installations, does not seem dissuasive enough and causes complex eviction procedures. Despite an effort by municipalities in recent years to comply with the requirements of welcoming Travelers, illegal settlement still causes too much harm to communities and fellow citizens. Indeed, the parking of Travelers on municipal land degrades and often leads to the cancellation of sporting activities or events planned on the occupied site and undermines the tranquility of the neighborhood. Eviction procedures are long and costly; communities alone bear the costs linked to dismantling, cleaning, rehabilitation, but also the administrative procedures that eviction involves without receiving compensation. To respond to the mayors' questions on the subject, procedures should be simplified and accelerated. Moreover, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron announced on September 14, 2021 during the closure of Beauvau security the establishment of a fixed fine in the face of this scourge of illegal occupation of land by travelers from the month of October 2021. This financial penalty could prove useful to municipalities. This is why she wishes to know the Government's overall strategy on this subject and to have elements of a calendar response on the establishment of the penal system.
