Around 300 people described by Politis as “Calaisians in anger” demonstrated against migrants living in the Calais camp. The rally was prohibited by the town hall but authorized by the prefecture. Including this anti-migrant mobilization records the hostile local politics that shaped the border crisis; it is not treated as equivalent to migrants’ claims for safety or to solidarity organizing. The entry also cautions against presenting a town as politically uniform.
