Interior and work ministers reveal in an interview with the “world” the content of the text which must be debated in early 2023.
While a new immigration bill must be examined in early 2023, the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, and that of the interior, Gérald Darmanin, announce, for the sake of balance, want to create a title of “Trades in tension” stay for undocumented workers already on the territory, alongside measures aimed at improving the rebounded on the border. A text on which the government intends to join the right.
The Lola affair, named after the girl killed by an undocumented Algerian national, has given the question of the obligations to leave French territory ( OQTF) at the center of the debate. France pronounced 122,000 in 2021 but only executed a small part. For what reason?
Gérald Darmanin: First, there are almost 50 % of OQTFs which are the subject of appeal that suspend them. One of the provisions of the bill which will be examined in early 2023 in Parliament is to strongly simplify the procedures and to go from twelve to four categories of appeal, to execute the measures much more quickly.
Then, to calculate the execution rate, there are only subsidized departures and forced departures, nearly 17,000 distances in 2021. However, thousands of people leave the territory after receiving an OQTF, without Let it be known. We will now register all OQTFs in the file of sought after, the RPF. It is not a question of restoring the offense of irregular stay but of being able to note that the person leaves as when, for example, he takes up an airplane and thus to count all the departures of foreigners.
Furthermore, it must be understood that the majority of people who are in an irregular situation came regularly to our soil and stayed after the expiration of their visa or their residence permit. This is the case of the alleged assassin of little Lola, who came with a student visa for a CAP and remained irregular on our soil for three years. No one wondered where she was. It is a problem. Today, when the prefecture takes an OQTF, follow -up only exists for dangerous people. I therefore ask the prefectures to follow up on people under OQTF. The prefect will take care to make their lives impossible for them, for example by ensuring that they no longer benefit from social benefits or social housing. We change the gear.
You communicate a lot on the expulsions of delinquents. This has represented 3,200 people for two years, out of more than 5 million foreigners in France. Do you not help put the focal length on an aspect that does not matter that the French imagine?
