Protest Against The New Immigation Bill Dubbed Darmanin's Bill Against Aliens

Thousands of people are demonstrating in Toulouse, France, on January 20, 2023, against the proposed 'Darmamin' law by the French Ministry of Interior, which aims to severely restrict or even eliminate state medical aid, social security, and social benefits for refugees and migrants in France. The banner of RESF, which stands for Reseau Education Sans Frontieres or Education Without Borders Network, reads 'Let's them grow here.' University presidents and professors oppose the law, stating that it contradicts the values of the French Republic and the long-standing tradition of French universities being open to the world. They are concerned that international students will face higher fees than French students and a 'bail of return.' Medical workers are protesting the potential elimination of state medical aid, arguing that it is better to treat illnesses early before they become too severe or expensive to treat. Entrepreneurs express their opposition, citing the need for this workforce in low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers are also against the law, as it would make knowledge of the French language mandatory, but they argue that there are insufficient resources to teach French to newcomers, including children. The Constitutional Council is set to deliver its opinion on the constitutionality of the law on January 25th. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
