Between 200 and 300 illegal migrants attempted to storm the Comédie-Française in Paris on Sunday, demanding to speak to the theatre’s deputy director so he could arrange a meeting between them and France’s interior minister Christophe Castaner.It was at around 9 p.m. that a small group of men tried to enter the theatre, considered one of the oldest active theatres in the world and only a few steps from the famous Louvre galley on the Avenue de l’Opéra.They were pushed back by security guards, but later returned with more than 200 other migrants, illegal workers, and asylum seekers, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, as well as open borders activists who coordinated the action.Police arrived quickly to dispel the protests and fired tear gas grenades at the illegals who, while they stopped trying to break into the theatre, did not disperse, and hung around outside the building playing hand drums and dancing. They finally left after midnight, chanting demands of “papers for all!”
