(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #226 - Undocumented student group of Paris VIII: Adjustment or nothing! (fr)

Faced with a socialist government that breaks records expulsions of undocumented and using 
logic in each case some student organizations such as the UNEF, the collective of students 
abroad-s-era Paris 8 (CEEP8) has initiated a struggle for the legalization of all 
undocumented students of the University. ---- Last year the students have called for the 
creation of an autonomous collective of international students. The idea was to create a 
collective struggle for these students get more rights. Then came the question of 
obtaining a residence for everyone that has emerged in the collective. The idea of ??a 
collective deposit records emerged in October 2012. The group is well aware that we would 
never get the regularization of all and all undocumented students without a collective 
struggle. The idea of ??this group is to file deposit from the month of March-April, 
records in the prefecture of Paris and Seine-Saint-Denis, creating a balance of power 
through mobilization to impose their regularization .

Balance of power

The CEEP8, through its large number - about a hundred people - and its activity has 
already started to create a balance of power within the university. Already getting from 
the presidency of the college support the collective deposit but obtaining the support of 
a large number of male and female students. During the last visit of Fran?ois Hollande in 
Saint-Denis, on February 11, the group tried to unfurl a banner "Regularization of 
undocumented immigrants." The police did not allow time to deploy its collective banner, 
it occurred immediately in college and sequestered for two hours of group members in the 
university restaurant. Many students are joined with the group demanding the departure of 
the police, which resulted in unrest surrounding the university by the CRS. This police 
operation that caused a stir, a general meeting convened on the same day passed a text 
support CEEP8. On February 19, the group organized a day of action on the university, 
inviting different groups of undocumented migrants. It was decided to take collective 
action with the coordination of the undocumented 93 and 75 and with the ninth community. 
The first of these initiatives is a rally outside the prefecture in Bobigny (93) Tuesday, 
February 26. Regularization collective will and through a massive fight and it is 
important to many of these gatherings!
