Question 22840 — defense

Summary

Mr. Guy Bricout draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the situation of former civilian local recruitment personnel (PCRL) employed in Afghanistan. Indeed, nearly 800 Afghans, most of them interpreters, were employed by the French armed forces deployed in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014. Without their help and their work, the French forces would have remained “deaf and mute” in this conflict. Gold when the French forces left Afghanistan, many of these former personnel were threatened with death by the Taliban, since they were accused of treachery; some were even forced to move on different occasions and hide in order to avoid reprisals from the Taliban. After several reception campaigns, a handful of them were able to obtain a visa for France. However, nearly 129 ex-PCRLs have seen, during 2018, their visa application rejected or left unanswered. Furthermore, for the last ex-PCRL repatriated to France, their reception took place in particularly difficult conditions, to the extent that, unlike their predecessors, they were no longer welcomed and supervised by the State. In this way, they had to count on the solidarity of associations, elected officials and their Afghan compatriots present in France to be able to feed themselves, find accommodation and move forward with their administrative procedures. It goes without saying, this situation is not worthy of France and the values ​​that the country intends to promote. Also, he asks him to urgently contact the prefectural services so that these people, who have served and helped France in its fight against terrorism, are taken care of and supported with respect and recognition; it is about the honor of France.
