Minors not accompanied in Maignelay-Montigny: “We were told that our young people were more offending than them”

A surprise? Not really. The meeting organized between members of the collective “No to unaccompanied minors (MNA)” de Maignelay-Montigny, Monday, February 10 and the president of the Departmental Council of Oise Nadège Lefebvre, in Beauvais, had no happy conclusion for opponents. The project to establish a home for MNA in the former senior residence on rue François-Mitterrand must come true.

The calendar was even specified. “If the work begins, the MNA could arrive in Maignelay within four to six months,” said Cédric Roger, one of the founders of the collective. And please welcome them with open arms. “Everything was done to defuse our questions,” continues Cédric Roger. “Limit, to listen to Ms. Lefebvre is an honor to welcome them.”

As for the security risks put forward by the members of the collective, they were reportedly swept away with a backhand. “We were told that the young people of the crû were more offending than the MNA.” Transmitted to the interested parties who will appreciate.

See you on February 15

While the discussion took place, around twenty people from the collective demonstrated in Beauvais. A heating round before the rally scheduled for Saturday, February 15. The collective plans to demonstrate. First in front of the future MNA home from 10 a.m.

Thereafter, a procession must parade in the streets of Maignelay-Montigny, from 3 p.m.

“Our wishes cannot be ignored”

For his part, Mayor Denis Flour also participated in this meeting at the Oise Departmental Council. “I want to express my total opposition to the project to transform the former residence of the elderly people of Maignelay-Montigny into a foster home for MNA,” he said in a statement. “It seems to me that the wishes of a municipal council and a community council cannot be ignored.” The two deliberative bodies took motions against the social assistance project at the end of 2024.

The former specialized teacher adds: “Gather, in the same place, 50 young people with chaotic courses borrowed from anxiety and violence really does not seem to me a good idea! Including for themselves! “
