Without appointments, without papers: the administrative trap that strikes thousands of Moroccans in France

Youssef El Idrissi El Hassani does not mince his words when addressing the Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez. For the president of the Franco-Moroccan Association of Human Rights, the explanations provided by the Île-de-France prefectures do not hold water. The administration cites technical breakdowns to justify the lack of available slots, but the association leader denounces "lies" intended to calm the rising anger. According to him, this digital barrier deliberately blocks the interests of migrants who pay their taxes and respect the law for years.

The mechanism described by the association resembles an administrative descent into hell. As soon as a residence permit expires, the countdown begins: the law offers only three months of protection. Once this deadline is exceeded, the Labor Code forces employers to dismiss employees without valid papers. This brutal loss of income destabilizes the household and, according to field observations, causes family dramas up to divorce.

Faced with this "bitter reality," the organization accuses France of violating its own commitments, citing Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Universal Declaration. After having unsuccessfully alerted Emmanuel Macron and his ministers, the association is preparing to change its method. It promises to intensify the pressure through sit-ins in front of the Human Rights Council and throughout France to stop this "hemorrhage" of rights.
