France is trying to “hide poverty” ahead of the Paris Olympics, according to a new report that accuses it of “social cleansing”.
Authorities have resorted to clearing squares in Paris where homeless families congregate, according to Le Revers de la Medaille (The Other Side of the Coin) – a collective that includes leading charities.
The report claims that evictions are on the increase, and there will be more in the run up to July 26, the day the games begin.
