No More Food Distributions on Place Garibaldi in Nice - As of this month, food distributions for the most vulnerable will no longer take place on Place Garibaldi in Nice. The decision follows complaints from local shopkeepers and residents about the disturbances caused by homeless groups. The City of Nice has announced that these distributions will be moved to other locations.
The change comes after previous efforts, such as removing benches in December to discourage gatherings have proved to be ineffective. While some local volunteers and charity groups understand the concerns, they also stress the importance of sustainable solutions for helping the homeless.
The decision has sparked strong reactions, particularly from the ViVA collective, which condemns the move as "anti-social" and "counterproductive," arguing that it reflects an effort to hide poverty from tourists. Left-wing activists warn that such policies highlight social inequality and harm those in need.
