Une dizaine de députés de la majorité cosignent avec des elus de gauche une tribune pour défendre le projet “humaniste” de régularisation des workers sans-papiers dans les “secteurs en tension”, mesure controversée du projet de loi immigration combattue par la droite et l ‘extreme right.
Published in Release, the forum brings together some left-wing macronists such as the president of the Legal Commission Sacha Houlié (Renaissance), centrists from the MoDem, Liot and elected left-wing socialists, ecologists or communists, including the head of the PCF Fabien Roussel and the leader of the group PS, Boris Vallaud. LFI did not want to be associated with him.
“Collective hypocrisy”
The 35 signatory deputies demand “three urgent measures for foreigners’ access to work.” They advocate regularizations “in sectors in tension such as construction, hospitality, cleaning, handling and personal assistance.”
“Without them, these sectors and entire sections of our country could not function,” they emphasize, deploring a “collective hypocrisy.”
The signatories of the forum, including the vice-president of the MoDem National Assembly, Élodie Jacquier-Laforge, and the environmentalist Julien Bayou, also wish to “restore the right to work to asylum seekers”, who suffer a six-month delay in the waiting period. months before being able to apply for a work authorization.
Finally, they consider “it is urgent to remedy the situation of embolism in the prefectures that is caused every day by the creation of new undocumented immigrants.” “It is time to set a maximum deadline for the administration to grant an appointment with the prefecture,” they consider.
“These three measures are at the same time urgent, humanistic and concrete,” write these elected officials, who try to intervene in a parliamentary debate that promises to be delicate. “If the Government does not manage to adopt them quickly (…), we will take the initiative,” they warn.
The shadow of 49.3
Lacking a majority in the National Assembly, the government is trying to find a compromise with LR, but several right-wing leaders have in recent days reaffirmed their opposition to the regularization aspect of the bill.
Another route considered by the majority leaders is for the bill to be approved with the support of the Liot group (Libertés, Independientes, Ultramar y Territorios), some LR and abstentions from the left.
But the government could be forced to use the constitutional weapon of 49.3 to approve the text without a vote.
According to the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, the text should reach the Senate in public session on November 6 and then at the beginning of 2024 to the Assembly.
