Shantytowns are a daily reality in France for the 16,000 men, women and children, mostly from Eastern Europe’s persecuted Roma minority, who call 570 makeshift slums home. On France’s Atlantic Coast, the Loire-Atlantique department, with its 40-odd “illegal encampments” in and around Nantes, contains the most shanty dwellers. In 2017, the French State and the 24 municipalities of greater Nantes devised a plan to develop plots of land with a view to replacing the shantytowns. In the meantime, NGOs and neighbourhood collectives are lending support to the resident families and keeping lines of contact open with a society that tends to forget them.

They left their country for this? It doesn’t seem like it would be worth it.
oh yes , it worthed... they search for stupid foreigners that give them money for doing nothing, just look for mercy ...and in their homeland they have big houses and cars , and dont pay taxes ....about 80% of gypsies do so ... you work and pay social help for them ...smart , isnt it?
What actually happened in their country?
Yes it's worth it If they're came from a dangerous country like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
@@carolinekanini6342 They're originally Dalits (the lowest caste) from India, pushed out over 1000 years ago by Muslim invasions.
@@carolinekanini6342 A ghost started hating them. Couldn't even name him.
it's looks like a gypsy camp.....places like this must be a big hit with the local residence eh?
Because of illegal immigration
Rashaun Jones your welcome
They seem to expect that France or other European countries will shower them with houses. In the US, we have trailer parks that look like these French "shanty towns". We have to help our own citizens first before helping others.
@Erica witt How do you know, and if so doesn't everyone brag about their homeland? And it doesn't compute that they appreciate being able to experience other countries and traditions? Brag is spelled with 1 g, not two unless you're referring to Ft.Bragg.
@Erica witt No, we don't do all that my guy.
This is not a comment that's aged well since you now have sprawling miles of shantytowns and tent cities in the us, not to mention miles people on the streets, completely out of it on drugs and charities set up to help developing countries now working in the us, providing healthcare to thousands of desperate people.
And now it turns out you even have child labour going on and the american Taliban taking over.
It's getting scarier by the day over there.
c'est comme ça en France
Haa..help your citizens with the wealth looted from colonial invasions.
Lives in a shanty with a flat screen TV... Ok
Do they make any other kind?
Stolen off back of lorry.
If you have no electricity how was the kids watching tv
Why can't the Roma ever seem to integrate into being productive citizens?
No Frenchie wants to hire them
This is easier
Free welfare
It's against their culture to integrate into society. It's just like the Amish here in the US. It's a welfare and tax fraud scheme.

There are limited government resources in any country.France, like the country they left, depends on the taxes paid to provide assistamce and in France taxes are shall I say generous. There is shame, shame France allowed the invasion and shae these people forcefully imposed themselves on France and finally shame that they are complaining things are not better for them. If this is far worse than what they left. why did they leave their previous countries?
I suggest many left to escape the warrants for their arrests and escape work for welfare. France should begin mass deportations.
France is coordinating the invasion
Description describes them as Eastern European Roma, so are they in France legally or illegally?
Ryk Comerford Illegal. They just decided to move there and set up illegal camps. They don't get residency or work permits either. There are documentaries that show many of them using their children to beg on the streets. The children will be watched from a distance by their mother and check in with her periodically to give her the money and go back and beg for more. That money then gets sent on to the Boss in Romania running the whole scam. He lives in a big house. There is even footage of the beggars at the homes of these men, and then returning to Europe for more begging. Teenage boys pickpocket also. I think it was the BBC that filmed all of this.
@@chasetonga I thought that if you are a citizen of the EU you do not require a work permit to work within the EU.
@@paramount842 You need a green card.
What do you think??? 😂
The influx of illegal immigrants has visibly lowered many aspects of French life to Third World levels. No country can keep absorbing unlimited numbers of poor, uneducated migrants who, largely, offer very little to any country they enter.
We are all primates. Offer happiness to yourself first.f borders.
Fair point
In France we can't have everyone here !
But you have everybody!
Maybe u should've thought of that before invading other peoples countries
@@bandile21
come to france anyway you live in poverty
Pay the price now 😂
Their first problem is that they want a hand out from the state.
When will people understand that illegal immigration is a crime? And that crime has consequences? And that therefore you must consider the consequences before committing a crime and take responsibility for the consequences? It is not a government's responsibility to cater to them if they are illegally in the country because they are not contributing financially for the growth of the very infra-structure they will need to be able to thrive in that country.
And bombing the crap out of so called third world country, hence creating so called migrant crisis, is not criminal, I suppose.
And bombing the crap out of so-called third world countries is not a crime in your world, I suppose. Avoid the problem by not creating the problem. Just a suggestion for France and those other countries bombing the crap out of black and brown people's countries- which to a large extent is driving the situation of migration the west complains about.
@@7atwaltham then give back all the billions of financial aid your country gets every year, and it will be settled.
I feel so sorry for the people in this video. I know good people who have gotten in a rut and they find it very hard to get out of.
No one chooses to be poor.
People are so harsh with their comments
Gypsies have lived like this for decades
Centuries
bet they all have TVs and mobile phones
And opel astra.
“poverty”
If you dont like it. You are free to go back wherever you are from
The worst poverty I've ever seen is in Hong Kong.I was in shock when I saw people living in circus cages...It was unbelievable.You couldn't stand up,all they could do was lay down.The cage's security was a lock on the iron, rusty door.One toilet for five or more men.Some of the cubical homes had women and children with one common toilet.One had the kitchenette in the toilet..🤔
Looks a lot like California.
@edie sheridan muffin head? ur a dick head
One thing that I don't understand... some of the houses they showed had a t.v. and not a small one... and also some had what it looked like an antenna for cable tv... the day they put their priorities in order maybe that day they can moved out from there
@edie sheridanjust saying I think they are Roma or soms soort of gypsy VROM eastern Europese and there is no war at the moment there
They like it there
I only feel bad for the 2 month old baby 🤷🏾♀️
The Roma are Gypsies from Rumania and Bulgaria, and have the right because of open border Europe to settle anywhere within the European union.
Roma originally came from India.
@@bldomain Gujarat to be specific
@@EliasRoy Yes Modi also came from there.
i have no money for a car, have no flat tv.. work hard.. hmm whats wrong
Why they came illegally?
There is a small forest just north of Los Angeles that looks exactly like this video !!
whats their problem? they have roof. they have water. they have food and many clothes and bed. i saw flat tv with cable. and they live in rich country where in trash you can find everything.
They don't look like France native. More like Gypsy or something.
Thev "REFUGEES" are so used to living on the WEST's FOREIGN AID they DEMAND it when they pour into the western countries.(who the HATE by the way) they'd be better going back to their own countries. You'll notice they are still chuning out babies to live in squalid conditions (but this probably get's them MORE benefits!!)
Appears to be a well run gypsy camp, not a shanty town. Perhaps if they act dirty, then they will get extra state assistance.
Still love the E.U. ?
We should start calling them Macronvilles just like Hoovervilles back in 30s
The best example of ‘import the third world become the third world’ I’ve ever seen.
That looks better than a trailer park of a working class citizen in America
Weird. The media has been telling me the US is the only country with a homeless problem.
I spy Teen Titans Go. At least they have connection to watch tv for good times. And their sanity.
I see France is introduced its own population reduction policy. No arguing about it these people's lives or going to be shortened in the long run.
im not sure what the problem is, if you want a house or electricity then get a job so you can buy that?
they're probably saving 3000 euros a month per family. Rent is ridiculous
They have been there since 2013.... and they have not built a playground for the kids ????
They're getting around to it. 😁
2:26 is this the poverty !??? 😂🤣🤣
Romas are nomadic by nature. These are the gypsies.
I don't blame them. Free money healthcare etc.
Isn’t free in France. Can pay up to 5,000 in bills.
they dont seem worried they sprechen french deja
They are pickpockets
It can always get worse
Romas, romas everywhere!
I guess it's a step up from living inside a dumpster...🤣🤣🤣
I'm confused. Do you assume these people have zero income? Then why not attack that issue? It seems to me that (for example) heat and electricity can be had very very reasonably, given a place like you have. It is far better than a tent, far better than having to pick up and move and have no where to go - to have your camp and all your belongings hauled to the dump. I am not exaggerating, and I am not stupid about what a person can do. Are you all under the spell of hypnagogia because that deserves some counseling to overcome - but you should be able, and be guaranteed, the right to employment, and childcare is a given at that age before school. It is good, it is healthy, it is normal. What do you need that you cannot have? Are you discriminated against for some reason? Attack that. Before you know it years will have passed by you.
these are Romania gypsies from eastern Europe...they aren't Muslims
Poverty is everywhere
they are not French.
They are now!
Looks the same as it's always looked.
All Roma.
Like the peasants in monarchy
All those poor 'french' people.... :)
Let the able males join the army and send them to Afghanistan , if They fight for France .. n die then They get equality ,fraternity, freedom .social Security ..
looks like the USA
Build that Wall.
they would be put in hotels in the UK while waiting for a nice house
Roma again. No matter where you find them, same story.
is this real......
Why wouldn't it be? Every wealthy country has pockets of poverty in them.
This is really sad.
France double standards, crying about living in Qatar
Have they not heard of solar panels?theyr not poor gypsy's are not poor people.
well Romania is not far away
gypsy
