Gathering Against The 'Darmanin' Bill Against Immigration

A protester is holding a placard that reads 'Immigration law: shame!' while another gathering is taking place in Toulouse, France, on December 21, 2023, against the 'Darmamin' law proposed by the French Ministry of Interior. This law aims to drastically limit or even stop state medical aid, social security, and social benefits to refugees or migrants in France. Many people are opposing this law for various reasons. University presidents and professors are objecting to 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 foreign students will face higher fees than French students and a 'bail of return.' Medical workers are protesting the potential suspension or elimination of state medical aid, arguing that it is better to treat an illness before it becomes too late or expensive to cure. Entrepreneurs are also against the law, claiming they need this workforce for low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers are opposing the law as well, as it would make knowledge of the French language mandatory. They argue that there are insufficient resources to teach the French language to newcomers in France, including children. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
