Leave a backup adapter to the homeless is an idea of Samu Social de Marseille and the base, the intention seems commendable. But the outcry is general and for good reason. The yellow triangle is decked inevitably think of the yellow star created by the Nazis to stigmatize Jews or pink triangle that identified homosexuals in concentration camps.
And stigma is that denounces this without shelter in the demonstration on Wednesday in front of Marseille City Hall: "I do not want to be shown the finger. There! Already that beckons us now ... But in addition with that! Where are we going there? Where are we going? "
The mayor and social Samu will therefore have to review their project denounced by many associations and by the Minister of Health itself. Marisol Touraine has held the initiative "unacceptable."
Distribution was suspended there eight days. The future card, not mandatory, will mention more diseases and allergies, and will not be visible, but the town is its project.
Xavier Mery, UMP deputy for integration and the fight against exclusion, concedes "clumsiness" but also says shocked by the connection made with the dark pages of history:
"I'm really shocked because the aim and our intention originally was to provide the means to identify people who are on the street and often are robbed of their papers. They are free to take or reject a priori, and most of them are quite happy with that card. "
A card that had been distributed to a hundred homeless on 1500 count as the city of Marseille. The new always bring the yellow triangle with the point of exclamation capsule, but maybe smaller. It should again be offered to the homeless in January.
