Gathering Against The 'Darmanin' Bill Against Immigration
A unionist from the CGT is reading a text against this law. Another protest is taking place in Toulouse, France, against the 'Darmanin' law, proposed by the French Ministry of Interior, which targets immigration, refugees, and migrants. The law aims to drastically limit or even stop state medical aid, social security, and social benefits to refugees or migrants arriving in France. Many people are protesting against this law for various reasons. University presidents and professors are opposing 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 point out that foreign students will face higher fees than French students and will be required to have a 'return deposit'. Medical workers are protesting the potential suspension or elimination of state medical aid, emphasizing the importance of treating illnesses before they become too severe or expensive to treat. Entrepreneurs are also against the law, stating that they rely on this workforce for low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers are protesting because the law would make knowledge of the French language mandatory; they argue that there are insufficient resources to teach French to newcomers, including children. The protest is happening in Toulouse, France, on December 21, 2023. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
