Indians aboard grounded charter flight return to Mumbai: what rules face those who stayed back in France

Broke On: Tuesday, 26 December 2023 On December 26, 2023, a charter plane carrying 276 Indians was grounded in France for suspected human trafficking. The minors on the plane were transferred to appropriate government agencies for care. Two passengers who were questioned by police are still in custody, monitored by the Paris prosecutor's office. 25 of the passengers did not return to India, instead requesting asylum in France. France has a generous system for asylum-seekers, providing them upto 300 euros a month while they wait for their papers to be processed. Foreign residents get social security benefits, which includes assistance in paying rent, childcare, etc. The new law on immigration, which cleared Parliament on December 19, deepens faultlines in the centrist coalition headed by President Emmanuel Macron. Some key changes the Bill brings in include: Longer wait for non-EU migrants to get welfare, review of medical care access, asylum-seekers can be detained, tougher citizenship rules, students have to make a deposit, easier permits for sectors seeing labour shortage. The bill will go to the Constitutional Council, which will check if it complies with the French constitution. Health minister Aurelien Rousseau has resigned in protest.
