Immigration of workers remained suspended until 1977; immigration of families was again authorized as of 1975. On 9 October 1974, 21 May 1975 and 6 November 1975, the Cabinet clarified government policy orientations regarding integration: a focus was placed on issues related to reception, housing, literacy, vocational training and cultural advancement. 10 July 1975 – A law allowed immigrants to be elected as in-company employee representatives. 1977 – Voluntary return schemes were set up: with a 10,000-franc repatriation bonus (known as the “million Stoléru”). 1978 – Organized and forced repatriation procedures were set up for part of the foreign workforce that had settled in France legally, some of whom had been in France for a long time. The announced goal was for 500,000 foreigners to return to their home countries. The measures, spread over five years, focused particularly on immigrants from Northern African countries, and especially Algeria. 10 January 1980 – The 80-9 Act (the so-called the Bonnet Law) regarding the prevention of illegal immigration was promulgated, amending the 2 November 1945 ruling regarding the entry and residence of foreigners in France: it toughened entry conditions; it made illegal entry or residence a motive for deportation equal to that of menacing public order; it made it possible to deport “illegal aliens” or those whose residence permits were not renewed; and finally it provided for escorting deported foreigners to the border and holding them in a penal establishment for up to seven days if they could not immediately leave France. 10 May 1980 – A national protest in Paris was called by numerous organizations supporting foreign workers in France—the Socialist Party (PS), the Unified Socialist Party (PSU), the CFDT trade union, the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR) and the Human Rights League (LDH)—against the Stoléru Law regarding renewal of residence and work permits, against the Ornano Bill regulating access to hostels, and against limitations set on foreign student registration at French universities. 7 June 1980 – Demonstrations were held in Paris, Strasbourg, Bordeaux and Marseille against the government’s immigration policy, launched by 70 anti-racist, religious and family organizations, the CGT and CFDT trade unions, the National Education Federation (FEN), the French Communist Party (PCF) and the PSU. October 1980 – In Metz (Moselle) on October 14, Lionel Stoléru, State Secretary for Manual and Immigrant Workers with the Labour Ministry, stated that “We will no longer welcome a single foreigner into France”; on October 15, his words were condemned by the CGT and CFDT trade unions and by the Federation of Associations for Solidarity with Immigrant Workers (FASTI). 30 November – 2 December 1980 – State Secretary for Manual and Immigrant Workers Lionel Stoléru made a trip to Senegal. On 1 December, there were talks with Abdou Diouf, Senegal’s prime minister, and Moustapha Niasse, the Minister of Foreign Affairs; on 2 December, they signed an agreement about training in view of immigrant Senegalese workers returning to France. |
