A first-grade student at the Jean Rostand high school in Caen and his family, of Ivorian origin, are threatened with deportation to Germany on May 10, France Bleu Normandie has learned, because they obtained a visa via the German embassy. His teachers and classmates denounce an insane situation.
Saucié, the eldest son, is preparing to take the French bac test next June: “He is a very pleasant and well-integrated boy.“, explains Gwénaëlle Clément, the teenager’s homeroom teacher, “he has adapted to the French education system, he is motivated and has progressed throughout the year“Several teachers wrote letters to praise his qualities and his academic success. His classmates launched a petition. One even contacted the socialist deputy of Calvados Arthur Delaporte.
The family tried to act before the administrative court, in vain. She must return to Germany on the order of the prefecture in Rouen. “Our family is threatened in Ivory Coast“, explains Madeleine-Houssa, the mother of Saucié, “because of problems my husband has had who is imprisoned. We received anonymous phone calls, children were bullied at school, so we got scared. Only the embassy of France being more exposed, I went to that of Germany where I was welcomed there in all discretion.”
The mother is unaware that the visa she will obtain will not allow her to come and go in the Schengen area as she believes. She and her children have never been to Germany and do not speak German.
