New Le Monde article, which concerns me a loan. On behalf of the suspicion, to maintain a nauseating populism, we close the borders to not only bodies but also souls.

marriages between French and foreigners increasingly controlled

F actur phone mails, photos ... it "all delivered " of his life. But neither the Appeals Board against the refusal of visas, nor the State Council, it has lodged an urgent application, would not listen. Married since January, Mary and Yassir, 25 and 24 years, share their lives through Webcam interposed.

In Fez, Morocco, Yassir waiting in vain that the French consulate granted him a visa to return to France to settle with his wife. They met in 2004 at Dijon, where both were studying. In late 2006, the administration refused to renew the residence permit Yassir. They were, however, PACS and Yassir was a promise hiring. Rather than staying in France illegally, Yassir is left to "regain approaches, legally, Morocco " and thus " put the odds of (their) side . Since then, he is still waiting. Invaded by a feeling of "great injustice ", he finds the situation "incomprehensible . Because "we do everything rule, we have a real plan for the future ..." Their marriage, Morocco, was transcribed by the French registry.

The case of Mary and Yassir is not isolated. For many mixed couples, marriage has become a term combatant. A reality in June 2007 led to the creation, in Montpellier, the collective " lovers banished public. In one year, this movement has taken root in more than a dozen cities and was attended by two thousand couples from all backgrounds and from all backgrounds. They are confronted with laws more stringent and Kafkaesque administrative practices in the name of the fight against bogus marriages and controlling family immigration. Wednesday, July 16, these couples are launching a propaganda campaign with a platform of ten demands for their right to live freely is respected.

" The issuance of a visa an alien to enable him to marry in France with a French person is very exceptional. In the vast majority of cases it is denied and couples are either forced to marry abroad, or to request a tourist visa for the spouse not French, "observes Nicolas Ferran Cimade, with the origin of the movement.

Abroad, we must first obtain the consulate of France a certificate of capacity to marry, then marriage celebrated, request a transcript from the French registry. The procedure may take several months . In France, the couple takes the risk of living in a time of illegality and be subject to investigation. The Constitutional Council recalled that the irregularity of the stay is not sufficient evidence to suspect a lack of sincerity and shall not impair the freedom of marriage. But some local officials routinely seize the prosecutor, the foreign spouse or without papers.

Ouafa, Moroccan, worked in France since 2006 as secretary legally translator. She married in January, a CNRS researcher. She did not like this "intrusion into the privacy " of her marriage before her marriage: "What is our crime : to love?" " In 1981, the requirement for foreigners to obtain permission from the warden to get married has been deleted . But, notes Nicolas Ferran this authorization is in fact restored: the prosecutor was simply substituted prefect. "

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 An article

World challenged me today. This is the story of the expulsion of a person with work and family, yet unwanted ... I relayed:

Cholet (Maine-et-Loir) SPECIAL ENVOY

I see the Sometimes the face of his father on the screen of the webcam installed in the living room but it must look far his "real souvenirs: Mamadou, 5 years, has seen his father for the last time Jan. 27, 2006.

"That day, the police rang at 7 o'clock in the morning, says his mother, Kadiatou Diakite. Oumar opened the door, I was preparing for Mamadou school. We have everything from immediately that they came to evict him. Umar put a sweater, he was allowed to take a toothbrush and toothpaste, and they took him away. Mamadou was 2 ½ years, he cried, he s 'to hang his father. "

Since that day, and Mamadou Diakite Kadiatou, who live in Cholet (Maine-et-Loire), never saw Umar. Time passed, Mamadou grew, but did Kadiatou Diakite not forgotten that day in January when she saw her companion for the last time. " I could barely talk to him before his departure," she sighs. He stayed two days at Le Mesnil-Amelot, an alien who was detained with him lent him a phone card. We could exchange a few words but he was expelled the next day to Bamako, without my being notified. It was removed without baggage, like a messy, like a bandit. "

NOW WITHOUT RESOURCES

Kadiatou Diakite and Oumar Diallo, who are both originally from Mali, met in 2002 in Maine-et- Loire. It follows then a third round of public law at the University of Angers, he is enrolled in the Faculty of Cholet. In 2003, shortly before the birth of Mamadou, they settled in the student housing of Umar, in Cholet. Kadiatou Diallo Oumar Diakite and so are legally present on French territory: they left Bamako on a student visa and they hold a residence permit.

But Oumar Diallo began working to support his family, February 21, 2005, the prefecture of Maine-et-Loire denied renewal of his student residence permit. "He then called and asked if he could change his status, said Michel Le Cler , the head of the committee to support Oumar Diallo. A lady at the prefecture, told him he needed to find a employment, preferably in a permanent contract (CDI). "

The April 30, 2005, Oumar Diallo sign a permanent contract at the plant Heuliez Cerizay (Deux-Sevres), but the process is ongoing : November 17, 2005, is the subject of an order of deportation. Two months later, he was expelled.

Since the departure of his companion, Kadiatou Diakite lives alone with her son in a town of Cholet. She lost her student residence permit by stopping his studies and is now destitute. " She has no right to work and she will not cheat , says Michel Le Cler. She sent a request for assistance from the Town Hall from Cholet to the canteen, but she was denied ." His rent - 350 euros per month - and some of its races are paid by the support committee. " I'm also going to Eating Heart , she sighs. It's hard, I can not reach. "

During the expulsion of his father, Mamadou, who is 5 years old, went through a difficult period." was a little boy very well integrated really enjoyed coming to the school, says Marie-Aline Boyer, the former director of the nursery school district. Her life changed overnight: it was stressed, it was hard to understand why his father had disappeared, he felt much despair around him. It's a little boy volunteer, clinging, has come a long way since then, but still, we feel in him a concern that prevents flourish as another child. "

Mamadou hung photos of his father in his room and he regularly sends drawings in Bamako, but it still does not accept his absence. " At school, he invented stories," says Kadiatou Diakite. He says his dad will take him to the park, that often accompanies the film. He adored her, he had never left for more than a day. After the expulsion, it was as if something had broken: he made big anger, he refused everything he proposed, he was incensed. "

" Running Scared "

Despite the circular Sarkozy on parents of children attending school in June 2005, Kadiatou Diakité which has become - in spite of itself - a symbol of undocumented Cholet, has not been corrected. She now lives holed up in his city: it does not leave the city for fear of being monitored. "We are locked here for two and a half years she says. Wednesday and Saturday, a committee member support Mamadou takes to the rink, but we go as little as possible - anyway, I have no money to pay us the bus. When I go to the store, I fear the belly. "

Kadiatou Diakite not planning to return to Mali: it has a higher education and left Bamako away from a polygamist father who was preparing to marry her and she does not want to reconnect with Malian family traditions. " I came here against the advice of my father, on my own because I wanted to have a little freedom ," she summarizes. Despite his despondency, Kadiatou Diakite still waiting for a regularization. " I do not want return to Mali and live like my mother lived, she says. I just wish that Mamadou went to school here in France, and has a good education . "

Consumption Meets Sexism: High Heels

This afternoon takes place in Brussels the first of a new event related to sales: the Louise High Heels (It's time to run for glamorous) . When I sent the info, I could not believe it. The basic principle: 200 women dressed in fashionable chic "(!) In a race of 100 meters in high heels (7 cm minimum) to win 10,000 euros in vouchers to use in the chic shops of Louise bottleneck. ..

For embedding it all, obviously there will also be music, parades, but also a hairdresser and a stand makeup artist. And attention, sexism goes both ways here, as in the activities Figure Appendices include a "care for men over 18 years! It does not have enough fingers to count the cliches in the presence ... that must be it, fun trendy that escapes me.

But fortunately, some ensure the grain and do not let this pass without waves. Thus, the collective Sold '@ calls for action to address indecency of this event, between leaflets, banners and costumes on the same day. Here is their post on the event:

- ridicules women and puts them in physical danger (risk of falls, sprains ... besides, cynicism or unintentional humor, a company of bandages and plasters is among the sponsors ...), not to mention the selection criteria for competing (picture!).
- it reinforces stereotypes and most hackneyed, with the "hordes of women ... who are unleashed on the track" (sic!) And go hunting for "bargains", while the men themselves , focus on their e-mails and I ux video! Balances are presented as a kind of "entertainment for women" (justifying, of course, opening shops on Sundays ...), as if the men themselves were not to take care of their clothes not worry about dressing children as yet, according to the latest scientific findings, we made two!
- it calls for consumption (luxury), which is an insult to all those (and all those) that do not balance by "fun" but because we must make do with budgets increasingly tight!

For those who pass through here on time, you will find here leaflets to print and distribute at the High Heels.

ATTAC and Breathe relayed the action, which seems to worry because the House of Women, which organized yesterday a workshop preparation to demonstrate today, received a call from general information that wanted to know exactly what they would do. It must be said that in the event's sponsors include outright RTBF (radio public service television) and ... the Brussels Capital Region ! In short, it's total ...
