[edit] Summary

Photo of 350 tents put on the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris end of December 2006 by the NGO Les Enfants de Don Quichotte, in support of the "right to lodging" (Droit au logement). The NGO invited well-lodged people to sleep a night in the tent, alongside homeless people. The NGO Médecins du monde (MDM) had taken the initiative, in 2005, to give tents to all homeless people in Paris, in order to provide them with minimal privacy and to make misery visible. But the prefecture of police, under orders of Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, was progressively expelling homeless people camping in Paris. Thus, the Enfants de Don Quichotte's action attracted attention to this expulsion. In the context of the presidential election, Jacques Chirac announced that the "opposable right to lodging" would be enacted into law before the end of his term (Scotland's 2003 Homelessness Act (see List of Acts of the Scottish Parliament from 1999 and official description of the act) providing examples of such a law).
