Woke Paris Theatre Goes Broke After Opening its Doors to 250 African Migrants for a Free Show Five Weeks Ago and They Refuse to Leave

A ‘woke’ theatre in Paris known for its radical Leftist shows faces bankruptcy after being occupied by more than 250 African migrants who were let in for a free event five weeks ago. The Mail has the story.

The Gaîté Lyrique theatre in Paris staged the conference, entitled ‘Reinventing the welcome for refugees in France’, on December 10th.

It involved talks hosted by academics from top universities and Red Cross officials, and saw activists welcome in the migrants.

But when the conference was finished, the migrants, who mainly come from France’s former west African colonies, refused to leave the venue.

Still occupied, the leftist theatre now faces going out of business after weeks without revenue from ticket sales, and has had to cancel all performances until at least January 24th.

Its management said in a statement last week that the number of people taking shelter in the theatre is “continuing to increase” and has swelled to around 300 people.

“The sanitary conditions are deteriorating day after day and the teams are facing this situation alone,” it said as it called for the local authorities to find a housing solution for the occupiers.

“Although this occupation is forced, it is unthinkable for the Gaîté Lyrique to throw these people out onto the street in the middle of winter,” the statement added. 

Paris’s Socialist-led council, which owns the building, claims it has looked for accommodation for the migrants but that none was available.

It has called for the Government to deal with the problem, but President Macron’s centrist Cabinet is said to have ignored the request and is reluctant to get involved in the debacle.

The estimated the cost of the cancellations of private and public events has been estimated to stand at “several hundred thousand euros in direct losses”, a theatre spokesperson said last month.

The theatre’s income model – which is 70% based on ticket sales and 30% on subsidies – has collapsed.

Local businesses have also complained of losses due to the occupation.

The bistrot next to the 19th century venue, a popular spot for theatregoers to eat and drink before and after shows, has reported €30,000 in lost revenue so far.

“They are ruining my business,” the manager Elia, herself the daughter of Algerian migrants, told the Times. 

“They hang around outside my terrace, smoking joints and fighting among themselves. Not only do we no longer get theatregoers because the theatre is shut but we don’t get passers-by either. They’re being frightened away by all these young men.”

Yet the open borders brigade never seem to learn the true impact of mass immigration. After all, why let a tiny thing like the facts get in the way of good sanctimonious ideology?

Worth reading in full.
