  1. What rights do you have? Go back to where you came from! Stop taking hostage our beautiful buildings and abusing of our hospitality and our own rights as Europeans! So ungrateful!

  2. It's fascinating that people will show up somewhere they don't belong and expect to be taken care of. Go to England, they'll give you a hotel room and a mobile.

  3. 😂😂😂 it’s what woke politicians in France get by allowing criminal migrants to do as they please. Imagine if a Parisian and French citizen checked into a hotel, then refused to leave. They’d be arrested and fined.

  4. This is exactly how the far right gains supporters. If you don't want the far right to increase in size fix these issues quickly. Having a location held hostage for people who are not in France legally and following French laws and sociatal norms is wrong.

  5. France wake up. These people have no gratitude. They have such a sense of entitlement. So sad. The tourists won't go anywhere near that area. The crime rate has risen.

  6. Paris city council:
    "we let these migrants into our theatre and they won't leave. We refuse to kick them out until you, the government provide them shelter as we are unable to provide them shelter in the city"

    French government :
    "lol congrats on your new asylum centre"
