The tone is firm after the attack that cost the life of a high school teacher in Arras (Pas-de-Calais) on Friday. National Assembly President Yael Braun-Pivet wants the immigration law to be “finally voted on” by parliament “before the end of the year,” she told France 2 on Monday. “I wish that we do not delay and that we can vote on it as as quickly as possible,” she said, urging people to remain “extremely firm.”
This text, proposed by Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, will be considered in the Senate in open session on November 6. Its goal is to “control immigration” and “improve integration” in France. Its Article 9 provides for “facilitating the expulsion of foreigners who do not respect the values of the Republic and who commit crimes on national territory.”
Article 10, for its part, reduces “the scope of protection against decisions imposing an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) when the foreigner has committed acts that pose a serious threat to public order, public safety or the security of the state.” “There is no place on our territory for people who hate our Republic,” Yael Braun-Pivet said Monday.
An intruder who cannot be expelled
The issue of immigration returns to the center of debate following the death of Dominique Bernard in Arras this Friday. This French teacher was killed by Magomed Mogouchkov, who was included in the S list for radicalization. A native of Russia, he entered France in March 2008 and was under active surveillance by the DGSI. In March 2021, Mohammed Mogouchkov saw his request to have his asylum application reconsidered rejected by the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (Ofpra). He filed an appeal to the National Asylum Court, which was also rejected on 16 August 2022.
However, the 20-year-old could not be deported because, according to domestic intelligence, he enjoyed absolute protection from deportation because he entered France before he turned 13. “We take into account in particular the integration criteria and believe, among other things, that a person who arrives very early in the territory of the country should be protected”, explained this Friday on this occasion Mr. Patrick Berdugo, lawyer specialized on the protection of foreigners. law.
