Protesters marching behind a banner reading “No to Darmanin’s law”, take part in a demonstration against the French Minister of Interior, Gerald Darmanin’s legislative proposal on asylum and immigration, in Paris, on April 29, 2023. AFPPIX: Thousands of people, including many undocumented migrants, marched in Paris and other French cities Saturday, protesting planned changes to immigration laws and evictions from the Indian Ocean island of Mayotte.
The protesters also took aim at Operation Wuambushi being carried out by the authorities on the French Indian Ocean Island of Mayotte to send back illegal immigrants, most from neighbouring Comoros, currently housed in unsanitary shanty towns. It would require a minimum level of French before a multi-year residence permit could be granted, would introduce mandatory fingerprinting, and tighten requirements for the renewal of long-term permits.
But while its critics believe the reforms are too authoritarian, Eric Ciotti, the head of the right-wing Republicans, believes they don't go far enough.
