France · National Assembly · 21 October 2025
M. Ugo Bernalicis interroge M. le ministre de l'intérieur sur le sort des dossiers déposés à la préfecture de Paris à plusieurs reprises par le collectif des Gilets noirs pour le compte des travailleurs sans papiers du chantier de l'Arena Porte de la Chapelle. Le 17 octobre 2023, des travailleurs sans-papiers ont fait grève sur le chantier des jeux Olympiques de l'Arena situé Porte de la Chapelle à Paris. Des négociations ont abouti à la signature d'un protocole d'accord entre les maîtres d'œuvre (trois entreprises sous-traitantes) sous l'égide de la mairie de Paris et le maître d'ouvrage. À travers cet accord, les entreprises sous-traitantes se sont engagées à fournir tous les documents nécessaires à la régularisation de tous ceux qui ont travaillé sur ce chantier. Grâce à cet accord, quatorze dossiers ont été déposés à la préfecture de Paris. Pourtant, dès le lendemain de la signature de l'accord qui stipulait le maintien de l'emploi des salariés pendant l'instruction de leurs dossiers, le maître d'ouvrage ainsi que deux des entreprises sous-traitantes ont refusé l'accès au chantier aux travailleurs concernés. Ces salariés, restés sans ressources pendant des mois, ont perdu leurs logements. Le collectif des Gilets noirs et le syndicat CNT-SO sont retournés sur le site de l'Arena à deux reprises : le 1er décembre 2023 et le 11 février 2024 afin que les grévistes puissent, entre autres, obtenir des récépissés. À cette occasion, le collectif a réussi à obtenir l'appui de M. Bernard Thibault, ancien secrétaire général de la CGT et coprésident du comité de suivi de la charte sociale des jeux Olympiques et les dossiers ont été déposés. Depuis le dépôt des dossiers à la préfecture, un seul travailleur sur les quatorze a reçu un rendez-vous à la préfecture. À ce jour, aucun autre travailleur gréviste de l'Arena n'a reçu de convocation, ni de récépissé. Pourtant, les 502 grévistes de la CGT, qui se sont mobilisés à la même période ont tous obtenu des récépissés, ce qui interroge. Le syndicat CNT-SO considère que ces dossiers font l'objet d'un blocage spécifique. Le 30 janvier 2025, le collectif des Gilets noirs a redéposé des demandes de régularisation pour ces travailleurs sans papiers. Aujourd'hui, les travailleurs concernés n'ont aucune information sur l'état d'avancement de leurs dossiers et personne n'est en mesure de leur expliquer les raisons de ce blocage institutionnel. Il lui demande de lui communiquer les raisons de ce blocage et de lui indiquer les mesures qu'il compte engager en faveur de la régularisation légitime de ces travailleurs.
France · National Assembly · 21 October 2025
Mme Catherine Hervieu attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur le défaut d'application du programme d'accueil en urgence des scientifiques et artistes en exil (PAUSE) concernant les lauréats originaires de Gaza. Ce programme, lancé en 2017 par le ministère de l'enseignement supérieur, le collège de France et la chancellerie des universités de Paris, vise à accueillir en France des universitaires et artistes étrangers contraints à l'exil en raison de persécutions ou de menaces graves. Depuis sa création, plus de 600 bénéficiaires ont été accueillis, favorisant leur insertion sociale et professionnelle dans des établissements d'enseignement supérieur français. Face aux violations du droit international et du droit humanitaire à Gaza par l'État d'Israël, 59 universitaires et artistes gazaouis ont été sélectionnés pour intégrer ce programme. Or à ce jour, 16 d'entre eux restent bloqués à Gaza, faute de délivrance de visa. Parmi eux, deux universitaires devaient être accueillis dans le département de la Côte-d'Or au sein de l'université de Bourgogne Europe, dont l'un d'eux avec son épouse et leurs cinq enfants. Leur situation actuelle les expose à des risques graves dû au gouvernement israélien d'extrême-droite : famine, conditions de vie déplorables, censure de leurs travaux académiques, nonobstant la consolidation du cessez-le-feu et l'engagement d'un vrai processus de paix. Cette entrave à leur évacuation constitue une violation des engagements internationaux et constitutionnels de la France, notamment l'article 13 de la charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne, garantissant la liberté académique, et le préambule de la constitution de 1946, affirmant que « tout homme persécuté en raison de son action en faveur de la liberté a droit d'asile sur le territoire de la République ». Elle souhaite donc savoir quelles mesures concrètes il entend mettre en œuvre pour garantir l'accueil des universitaires Gazaouis sélectionnés dans le cadre du programme PAUSE et garantir le respect des engagements de la France en matière de droit d'asile et de liberté académique.
