Wealthy Cohen family attempts to create multicultural ‘Noah’s Ark’ by settling 70 refugee families in small French town, but residents are fighting back

A wealthy family is attempting to implement a utopian experiment with the goal of settling 70 refugee families in the quaint French town of Callac, and while no member of the family actually lives in the town, they are willing to invest millions of euros from their fortune to make their vision a reality.

Known as the Horizon Project, the scheme would be funded with money from the private Merci fund, which was created by Marie-France Cohen and is managed by her three sons. While the Cohen’s fund is reportedly spearheading the project, other financing would come from federal taxpayer subsidies and the local municipality.

The Cohens have identified 75 vacant jobs in health, trade, and agriculture in the town of approximately 2,000, which they plan to fill with refugees. Their endowment fund is designed to cover the cost of relocating the refugee families to the town and providing them with jobs, but only for 10 years. After that, the town is mostly on its own, unless authorities can secure more taxpayer money for the project.

Why don’t they resettle the refugees next door to themselves?

That’s easy though. You just install a radio control unit to steer the Harley and then tape the Chipmunk to the handlebars :)

Just a wild guess, but the Cohen’s don’t live there too.

That’s what the original post said… No member of the Cohen family lives in that town. Destruction from afar

It may well be impossible for people who have lived and prospered under a given social system to imagine the point of view of those who feel it offers them nothing, and who can contemplate its destruction without any particular dismay.

This is a horror show in the making brought on by elitists dictating to the “country yokels” how they should live; that is as a Utopian social experiment with the locals being the guinea pigs.
