VIDEO – The head of the State promises to return within three months with the government declaration that his promise has been held.
François Hollande was at Calais on Monday, for the first time since the beginning of his five-year term.

” Presidential: Calais, new ring campaign
Upon his arrival, and in front of many journalists, François Hollande reaffirmed that it would “dismantle completely, definitely,” the camp of the Moor, nicknamed the “Jungle”, where are piled up between 7000 and 10,000 people, according to the counts. In this task, the government “will go all the way” and taking, “as much as it is possible, a distance to instrumentalisations or controversy, which, moreover, turn their backs on the principles of the values of the Republic”, added the head of State before the forces of the order. The head of State evokes a “complete dismantling” “by the end of the year.” The minister of the Interior Bernard Cazeneuve had said the previous week that this operation would take place “before the winter”.
“I did not come to make an announcement that after there are so many who is in any doubt about its implementation, or I would leave, regardless of the fate of the elections, to other the care to do it at my place. No, everything will be done. Everything will be done by the end of the year. And I’ll come back with the government after the complete dismantling and whole of Calais, for there is no doubt about our intentions and our commitment,” added François Hollande.
“I want to say my determination to see the british authorities to take their part in the humanitarian effort that France accomplished here and will continue to do tomorrow”, added François Hollande. “This is not because the United Kingdom has taken a sovereign decision that it is relieved of its obligations in relation to France,” he added, alluding to the Brexit and bilateral le Touquet, signed in 2003, which are the british frontier in France.
in Addition to the forces of the order, the head of State also met with elected officials as well as heads of companies and associations.
The visit comes within the context of the controversy growing about the distribution of the migrants of Calais, for which the State seeks to create 9000 new places in reception centres and orientation (CAO) by the end of the year. It will take place in a electric climate, in the middle of building a concrete wall “anti-intrusion” which was supposed to prevent migrants from riding in trucks and make it to the port to join the Great Britain.
“Our belief is that on this topic, it is possible to appeal to the reason of the people”, do we want to believe in the Elysée palace. “Behind the wager policies, the hubbub in the media, it is possible to explain things”.
a Long time discreet on the topic ultrasensitive immigration, the French president has ostensibly seized of the matter these last days. On Saturday, he has already stated his desire to “dismantle Calais fully”, and he ensured that France would “not a country of camps”, on the occasion of a visit to Tours in one of the 164 CAD opened to accommodate the evacuated migrants in Calais, and Paris. At the beginning of September, the minister of the Interior Bernard Cazeneuve had announced the dismantling of the Jungle.

This trip to Calais, which was originally expected this summer, had been postponed because of the attacks of Nice and Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, according to the entourage of the head of State. François Baroin, the support of Nicolas Sarkozy, however, is “not normal” François Hollande is not gone “earlier”. Launched at full speed in his primary for the presidential election of 2017, the French right has taken hold of the theme of immigration and multiplies the attacks against the policy of the socialist government of François Hollande.
In an open letter, the associations of migrant assistance, including Doctors of the World, are calling on François Hollande to “get out of a logical manager” of the crisis, and wish that his coming “is the occasion for a loud announcement: (…) the need to welcome the people that come to us for protection.”
