Displaced from their former squat near Toulouse on Thursday October 26, 2023, nearly 200 people settled in an old disused building of the Jean Jaurès University, destined to be destroyed.
Evicted from their former squat in the Saint-Martin-du-Touch district of Toulouse, near 200 people occupy a former disused building of the Jean Jaurès University, intended to be destroyed.
Men and women with children were seen there during their installation, Thursday October 26 shortly after 1 p.m., the day they were asked to leave the Victoria Center by the police, a few kilometers away. This operation followed a court decision handed down last August.
This new illegal occupation greatly worries the management of the Jean Jaurès University. The Epicure building in which these homeless people took place was farm et banned to the public since April 2023, “because it no longer met the conditions required for welcoming the public and carrying out administrative and educational activities”writes the university management in a press release.
“Destined to be destroyed, this building has since been no longer maintained or supplied normally in fluids: the installations allowing the water supply were notably dismantled several weeks ago”. For the university, “as is, this building presents major health and safety risks for the people who live there.
In its press release, management states that it is concerned “in a very serious way
dramatic situation in which these people find themselves.” She also indicates that she “brought closer to the competent authorities so that a solution can quickly be found” as well as hosting solutions.
On campus, a team of reporters from France 3 Occitanie went to meet the occupiers this Sunday, October 29, 2023. But they were strongly invited to leave.
