Question 3771 — refugees and stateless persons

Summary

Ms. Sandrine Runel draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior to the cases of early closures of places in emergency accommodation for asylum seekers (HUDA) reported by associations, occurring even though no finance law has yet been definitively adopted. In October 2024, the draft budget provided for the elimination of 6,500 HUDA places. However, the resignation of the Government following the adoption of a motion of censure made these budgetary guidelines obsolete. Despite this, several grassroots associations have reported that prefectures have already closed places. These decisions, taken unilaterally, raise questions about respect for parliamentary prerogatives and the hierarchy of standards. Furthermore, these closures take place in a context where reception capacities are already largely insufficient to meet rapidly growing needs. They risk considerably worsening the living conditions of the people concerned, exposing them to wandering and extreme vulnerability. Furthermore, they pose difficulties for the associations which ensure, on a daily basis, the reception and support of these audiences, with often limited resources. In these conditions, she asks him if the Government intends to firmly remind the prefects that there can be no premature anticipation of budgetary provisions as long as the finance law has not been adopted by the national representation. She underlines that these decisions, taken without solid legal basis, constitute a worrying circumvention of the rules of functioning of democracy. She wants to know his position on this subject.
