Gathering Against The 'Darmanin' Bill Against Immigration

People are protesting in Toulouse, France, on December 21, 2023, against the 'Darmanin' law proposed 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. University presidents and professors oppose the law, arguing 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 non-EU students will face higher fees than French students and a mandatory 'return deposit.' Medical professionals object to the potential suspension or elimination of state medical aid, emphasizing the importance of treating illnesses early to prevent more severe and costly outcomes. Entrepreneurs express opposition, citing their reliance on this workforce for low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers also oppose the law, as it would make knowledge of the French language mandatory without providing sufficient resources to teach French to newcomers, including children.
