Le lieu culturel est occupé depuis plus de trois mois par des centaines de jeunes migrants. Lundi, le préfet de police Laurent Nuñez avait pris un arrêté ordonnant son évacuation rapide. Une « intervention extrêmement violente », selon la députée de gauche Danielle Simonnet présente sur place ce mardi matin.
Police intervened at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris on March 18, 2025, to evacuate hundreds of young migrants who had been occupying the cultural venue for over three months. The intervention, ordered by the police prefect, was described as "extremely violent" by a left-wing deputy. Police forced their way through activist lines and entered the building around 6:15 AM, with migrants seen leaving with their belongings.
