Associations skeptical about the creation of a residence permit for jobs in tension
One of the key measures of the future text concerning foreigners in an irregular situation is the creation of a residence permit for so-called “short-term” occupations. But for the moment, this measure remains unclear because ” we don’t even know how many people this may affect “says Fanélie Carrey-Conte of the association for the defense of the rights of foreigners, Cimade.
“ We got the impression that there were advances, then setbacks and that the government oscillated between a form of openness, but at the same time, as soon as there was fear in society, we went back to back saying “we must be reassured that it will only be a small number of people”, she adds. According to her, the regularizations must be considered ” in a more general way ” because ” today, thousands of undocumented people live in precariousness and it makes no sense “.
Bchira Ben Nia, at the head of the collective of undocumented 75, is also worried. ” For us, it’s a regression “, she asserts. And to add: We are talking about a one-year card, renewable as long as the job is in tension. But we don’t yet know what jobs are in tension. However, if the undocumented person is already working in this job, it is because it is a job in tension because it was not done by others. “.
