Question 10777 — French people abroad

Summary

Ms. Amélia Lakrafi draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the situation of French nationals who are subject to a ban on leaving the country in Madagascar. In fact, over the last few months, the number of decisions of this nature, handed down by the Malagasy authorities, without the accused being informed, has tended to multiply. People affected by such ban only learn about it, to their cost, when leaving for a foreign destination. They find themselves “stranded” on Malagasy territory, without notice and without being informed of the basis of this decision. According to the testimonies brought to its attention, French diplomatic and consular posts are also not notified in advance of the existence of such prohibitions, which limits their ability to offer monitoring and support to the people concerned, as well as verifying the compliance of these decisions, rendered without judgment, with the law that applies locally. In view of this context, she would like to be aware of the actions that could be implemented, in conjunction with the Malagasy authorities, to allow France to be better informed of the fate reserved for citizens finding themselves in this situation and of offer them a closer protection and support system.
