The daughter of a 46-year-old Moroccan man who threatened to hang himself from the balcony of his house to avoid eviction, said they were refusing refusing the offer by the Social Services of temporary accommodation. The lodging would have been in a religious institution run by nuns that would have housed the girl and her mother while waiting for a new home. There were two main reasons given for the refusal: first, the young woman wants her family to live together, second, she fears that in the new accommodation they wouldn’t be able to pray and to observe their religious obligations. During an interview, the man expressed his wish to find another job and live in a decent house. The girl, for her part, is putting pressure on the welfare commissioner to find an acceptable solution.
