Question 4890 — French people abroad

Summary

Mr. Pieyre-Alexandre Anglade questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs about holding Defense and Citizenship Days abroad. Defense and Citizenship Day (JDC) informs young French citizens, between their sixteenth and twenty-fifth birthdays and following their census, about their rights and duties as well as the functioning of institutions. This day is an important step in taking civic awareness and in the construction of social bonds between young French people, whatever their origins and horizons. Abroad, this JDC takes on all the more crucial importance as young French people sometimes have only a tenuous link with their country of origin. Until 2016, the JDC took the form of a half-day theoretical training session. However, since 2016, this day has no longer been organized in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands (Benelux) due to lack of security resources and guarantees. Worse, it seems that the decision was made at ministerial level to simply eliminate the JDC for French expatriates. He therefore wishes to question him about the future of Defense and Citizenship Days abroad.
