A colorful and noisy flea market animates the place of discoveries in Noisy-le-Sec (Seine-Saint-Denis)that afternoon. A little away, against a definitively closed bakery, Fadila (the first name has been changed) has installed his camp: some damaged palettes act as walls, an old sofa covered with a blanket serves as a bed. But this homeless woman is not there, any more than in her other lairs around the square: the open bakery, the small square … The agitation had to make her flee, assume Clément and Fafa.
These two inhabitants of Noisy-le-Sec are part of a collective which recently formed to help Fadila. Aged in his forties, She has lived on the street for almost ten years. According to several testimonies, she suffers from serious psychiatric problems. She was crossed with brands of a blow and residents saw her being struck with a belt when she was “in crisis”, that is to say that she pushed howls in the street. A scene that deeply shocked residents who attended it.
