(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #225 - Hunger strike: Should he die for papers?

The condition of undocumented has it changed since the socialist head of state? Apparently 
not. Today they can die on the front of a church without this ?meuve our Minister of the 
Interior ... Given the state racism solidarity is organized. ---- The condition of

Given the state racism solidarity is organized. ---- Valls definitely walking in the 
footsteps of the right and the extreme right. An example of the ignominy of the disaster 
of the Interior instead of taking advantage of the invalidation of custody on illegal 
aliens by the Supreme Court to establish a more respectful of their rights, he put in 
place a "hold" constitutes differential treatment and has even fewer guarantees. But the 
revolt of undocumented Lille, he has opposed a strong contempt. The media have also very 
little coverage the case.

More than one hundred undocumented were on hunger strike. After more than seventy days on 
strike, and the prefect Valls North continued to find their illegitimate demand for 
regularization. They even accuse people who risked their lives to assert their rights to 
create a "balance of power".

cynicism Socialists

But what are the side force and violence? Socialist clowns did not skimp on the means, 
they sent the Taskforce National Police (GIPN). Elite troops, for the terrorists were 
called to evacuate a church occupied by undocumented migrants in hunger strike! They 
bottomed out, or rather the Front. People almost died in the land of indifference 
Socialist Martine Aubry. Some people will keep heavy legacy of this long hunger strike. 
The government is deliberately ostentatious brutality by expelling two of them on December 
31, adding, for good measure, this day of celebration, a young Pakistani living in France 
since the age of 15 years, threatened his country of origin.

Solidarity march

Solidarity quickly start in the rest of France, the 9th group of undocumented migrants 
occupied the Paris headquarters of the PS January 4, occupation followed by regular 
gatherings at the same place. Were then occupied Agence France-Presse, to denounce the 
media silence on the strike, and the basilica of Saint-Denis. Support actions have 
continued to grow in January, resulting in several arrests as collective Jan. 14 after a 
rally under the windows of Valls.

The strike finally ended after the prefecture has agreed to study the issues. But as 
usual, the adjustments are made on a case by case basis and without warranty of effective 
regulation. The strategy of breaking solidarity individualizing situations is well known 
after ten years of sarkozysme. The proof is now made that this will not change under the 
PS. Despite the end of the strike, the movement does not stop. Supports the collective Ile 
Lille now take the form of a weekly gathering in Solferino, every Wednesday from 18h. It 
is hoped that this trend will continue, and that all our struggles for equal rights converge.
