9 months ago as the end of a series of strikes the CGT union negotiated with the French government to look at the cases of 3900 sans papier. So far, only 200 have been given papers, and 1200 of them have not even been given a receipt acknowledging that their case is being looked at. Francine Blanche of the CGT has said the failure of the prefectures to complete the cases by the deadline of 31st March this year shows a lack of “political will”.
