Actors, writers, journalists, union representatives… Two hundred and one personalities are calling to demonstrate, on January 21, against the promulgation of the immigration law, denouncing a “dangerous turning point in our Republic”in a column published Sunday January 7 by Humanity et Mediapart.
Among the signatories are actresses Josiane Balasko and Julie Gayet, writers Nicolas Mathieu and Alice Zeniter, comedian Guillaume Meurice, trade unionists Marylise Léon (CFDT) and Sophie Binet (CGT). They castigate a text of law “written under the dictation of hate mongers who dream of imposing their project of “national preference” on France”.
“Concerned with unity and solidarity rather than endless division of our society, we ask the President of the Republic not to promulgate this law”concludes the text.

Consecration of “national priority”
Several associations defending undocumented immigrants have already launched a call for mobilization on January 14.
On France Inter, Marylise Léon, general secretary of the CFDT, considered that it was a question of“an important moment in the political history of this country”. “We are at a turning point, far-right ideas are adopted in the National Assembly in a law which denies the humanist values that we defend at the CFDT”she said on the microphone of “Political questions”.
Adopted forceps by Parliament, the immigration bill notably restricts the payment of social benefits for foreigners, establishes migration quotas, calls into question the automaticity of land law and reestablishes a “illegal residence offense”.
This text, which caused an open crisis within the presidential majority, was voted by the National Rally which saw it as a consecration of “the national priority” which he defends. Voted on December 19, 2023, it includes, according to the executive itself, several measures likely to be censored by the Constitutional Council. Seized by the President of the Republic, but also by the left-wing opposition, the nine constitutional judges must rule by the end of January on its compliance.
