Gathering Against The 'Darmanin' Bill Against Immigration
A woman is holding a placard that reads 'Liberte, egalite, Fraternite: how dared you?' as another protest is taking place in Toulouse, France, on December 21, 2023, against the 'Darmanin' 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 protesting the 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 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 suppression of state medical aid, emphasizing the importance of treating illnesses before they become too late or costly to cure. Entrepreneurs are also against the law, stating their need for this workforce for low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers are protesting because the law would make knowledge of the French language mandatory, and they argue that there are insufficient resources to teach French to newcomers, including children.
