Protest Against The New Immigation Bill Dubbed Darmanin's Bill Against Aliens

A member of the medical NGO 'Medecins du Monde' is holding a placard that reads, ''No! We won't choose which ill people can be cured and those who can't.'' Several thousand people are demonstrating in Toulouse, France, on January 20, 2023, against the 'Darmamin' 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 entering France. Many are opposing this law for various reasons. University presidents and professors are against it, arguing that the law 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 elimination of state medical aid, emphasizing the importance of treating illnesses before they become too late or costly to cure. Entrepreneurs are also opposed, citing their need for this workforce for low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers are objecting because the knowledge of the French language would become mandatory, and they argue that resources are insufficient to teach French to newcomers, including children. The Constitutional Council is set to deliver its opinion on the constitutionality of the law on January 25th. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
