Question 17713 — veterans and victims of war

Summary

Mr. Léo Walter draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Armed Forces, responsible for veterans and memory, to the situation of harkis resettled after their passage through transit camps and forestry hamlets in her constituency of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. He would like to point out that he has already questioned her in a written question published in the Official Journal on October 11, 2022 (question no. 1985). The latter concerned the recognition of the cities of Les Quatre Saisons and Saint-Martin (today Les Grands Prés) located in Manosque (04100), as eligible for the aid and reparation system for displaced families, in accordance with the rights conferred by decree no. February 23, 2022. Since then, the cited Les Quatre Saisons was recognized by the Independent National Commission for Recognition and Reparation of Damage Suffered by Harkis (CNIH) as a place of relegation, giving right to compensation for former harkis who lived there. Conversely, the city of Saint-Martin has not been listed, although its recognition is obvious and all the more necessary following the condemnation of France by the European Court of Rights of the man in its Chamber judgment Tamazount and others v. France of April 4, 2024. The deputy recalls that the law promulgated on February 23, 2022, of which Ms. Miralles was rapporteur, officially recognizes the responsibility of the State in the harm suffered by the harkis and their families due to serious breaches of the duties and values ​​of the Republic. This text opens the right to compensation to those of them who have stayed in transit camps and forestry hamlets between March 20, 1962 and December 31, 1975. In this case, the city of Saint-Martin is among the places of relegation and unworthy housing in which the harki families were settled. As a result, the recognition of only one of the two cities constitutes a difference in treatment that is difficult to justify, insofar as the people directed to the city Saint-Martin were only based on their quality of harkis and due to the saturation of forestry hamlets in the department. The MP therefore emphasizes again that it is coherent to extend the aid and reparation system to displaced families in the city of Saint-Martin, where living conditions were just as unworthy as in the forestry hamlets or in the city of Quatre Saisons; and that sorting out those who have living in comparable relegation structures constitutes an unacceptable difference in treatment. Thus, in view of the difference in treatment between harkis, the MP once again questions the Secretary of State about the possibility of including the city of Saint-Martin (today Les Grands Prés) in the list of places where repatriated harkis and their families have stayed on national territory. He insists on the fact that there is an urgent need, given the duration of non-recognition of the harm suffered, to open to the families of the harkis who stayed in this city of Manosque the rights conferred on the beneficiaries of decree no. 2020-513 of May 4, 2020 modifying the decree of December 28, 2018, decree establishing an aid system for the children of former harkis, moghaznis and staff various auxiliary formations of civil status under local law and assimilated to all harkis. He wants to know his position on the subject.
