Gathering Against The 'Darmanin' Bill Against Immigration

A woman is holding a placard that reads 'Liberte, Egalite, Regulariser' at a protest in Toulouse, France, on December 21, 2023. People are gathering to oppose the 'Darmanin' law proposed by the French Ministry of the Interior, which aims to severely restrict or even eliminate state medical aid, social security, and social benefits for refugees and migrants in France. Many are 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 are concerned that non-European students will face higher fees than French students and 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 address. Entrepreneurs are also speaking out against the law, citing their need for 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 French to newcomers, including children.
