French people living in Canada and the United States will not be able to return to their Home country without special circumstances from February 1, an inconvenience caused by the closure of borders outside the European Union on the night of January 31. New York lawyers told AFP that some French people living in North America have filed a lawsuit with the “Conseil d’Etat” (Supreme Administrative Court) against the government for violating their basic fundamental right to be able to return to their country.
The French newspaper Le Figaro reported on the 7th: a pregnant woman stuck in Peru could not find the necessary “compelling reasons” (motif impérieux) to enter the country; a seriously ill woman in her 70s wanted to spend the rest of her Life with her A seriously ill woman in her seventies wants to spend the rest of her life with her “boyfriend”, but her wish can not be realized due to the closure of the border; her son was born in Indonesia last October, more than four months back home, and the baby has not met the father trapped outside the country, discontented shouting: father and son can not see one side?
AFP New York news, some French people living in the United States and Canada have joined forces to sue the government for arbitrarily preventing them from returning to the country in violation of the fundamental rights held by individuals. Pierre Ciric, a New York lawyer, told the French domestic news station that the French must be able to return to their own country as a fundamental and absolute right.
The French need to return to their country is a legitimate reason, but the government’s decision on January 31 to contain the New crown outbreak violates the fundamental rights of the nation and is completely arbitrary, said lawyer Ciric.
One Marie, who lives in Canada, told reporters that her girlfriend is a nurse in France. They cannot see each other at all after the border closure; nor do they know how long this situation will last.
The French government announced these border closures with a “compelling reason” (motif impérieux). On the website of the Ministry of the Interior, it is stated that there are three special cases: one for personal and Family reasons; two for health reasons; and three for cross-border work reasons.
Personal and family reasons include the death or critical illness of an immediate family member, provided that the hospital issues a death certificate or a notice of critical illness. Single-parent families with custody of minor children, subject to a court order; people with a judicial summons; and people who cannot support their daily expenses in a country outside the EU, such as unemployed people who have been laid off. The fifth case is to study abroad, which requires proof of admission to the school.
In addition to personal and family reasons, there are health reasons. In this case, you will need to provide a medical certificate to prove that you are in a health crisis or need to be hospitalized.
The last case is to engage in essential economic activities, with a certificate from a multinational company or a professional certificate from an international freight forwarder. Cross-border workers also include medical personnel fighting against the new crown Epidemic; diplomats and senior professional athletes recognized by France for competitions or exchanges, but still requiring a certificate issued by the French Ministry of Sport.
