Gathering Against The 'Darmanin' Bill Against Immigration
A unionist is reading a text against the 'Darmanin' law in Toulouse, France, on December 21, 2023. Another protest is taking place in the city against the law proposed by the French Ministry of Interior, which targets immigration, refugees, and migrants. The law aims to significantly reduce or even eliminate state medical aid, social security, and social benefits for refugees or migrants arriving in France. Many individuals oppose this law for various reasons. University presidents and professors are objecting to 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 international students will face higher fees than French students and a 'bail of return.' Medical workers are protesting the potential suspension or removal of state medical aid, emphasizing the importance of treating illnesses before they become too severe or expensive to address. Entrepreneurs are also expressing opposition, citing their need for this workforce for low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers are speaking out 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.
