What are the first things that come to our mind when we talk about Paris? Love, heritage, beauty, culture, romance? A city so beautiful that it’s rumored that the sight of it stopped even the Germans from destroying it. But if you’re planning to take a trip to Paris and have romanticized its beauty then you need to reconsider. A video is going viral over the internet in which streets of Paris are filled with trash and squatters. Homeless people seem to be living on these streets.
Many people seem concerned at the sight because of children and families with babies forced to be living on streets. France is struggling from an acute immigrant crisis and the state seems to have no solution for it. With more and more refugees seeking asylum, the cities are put under a lot of pressure. In the viral video, Paris looks like a rugged Eastern European city with filth everywhere.
People are concerned that the crisis is turning France into a ‘third world country’. The country saw widespread riots after the police force killed a young boy during routine checks. France and other European countries have a moral obligation when it comes to catering immigrants both legal and illegal. The nations that brutally colonized half of the world are expected to do better when a few thousand of them land on their soil.
