Eleven new administrative detention centers (CRA) will open in France by 2027, says the Minister of the Interior in a letter addressed to the President of the Republicans, Eric Ciotti, Monday December 18, obtained by the political service of franceinfo. Gérald Darmanin claims to have “ensured that everything was done so that the deadlines for creating the new CRA places were accelerated as much as possible”.
“Thus, the CRA in Olivet (Loiret) will open on February 1, 2024. That of Mérignac (Gironde), which was initially due to open in January 2026, has been brought forward to October 2025,” specifies the Minister of the Interior. The opening of “nine other CRAs initially planned for 2027 will be brought forward to 2026 at the latest”.
In this letter, the Minister of the Interior concludes by affirming that the immigration bill is “first a strong law against irregular immigration”. The government needs the support of Republican parliamentarians for the text to be adopted Monday evening by the joint committee before being submitted to Parliament for a vote on Tuesday.
