THE DEAD ONES STAND UP!
Today we, immigrants and those without papers, inhabitants of social housing, tenants of the streets, are occupying the Pantheon.
We are the undocumented, the voiceless, the faceless for the French Republic. We’ve come to the grave of your great men to denounce your desecrations of the memories of our comrades, of our fathers and mothers, of our brothers and sisters in the Mediterranean, on the Paris routes, in the shelters and prisons. France continues slavery, in a new way. Our parents died for France. And those who are dead are dead. The responsibility is that of the ones who live, those who have power today. And may the dead rest in peace.
Before yesterday, we attacked the border occupying Air France’s terminal at Charles de Gaulle Airport. This is where the French police take us on planes to Algiers, Dakar, Khartoum, Bamako or Kabul.
It's from which Djiby was deported!
Yesterday, we invaded the Elior Tower in La Defensa and the General Directorate of Labor.
We went to tell the bosses that humiliate and exploit us: fear moved to the other side! Today, we continue to beat the State and its racism, in France and in Europe.
We come to defend our dignity! We will not plead with anyone else and we will take our rights by struggling!
We’ve come to tell you that for the foreigners, France’s motto is humiliation, exploitation, deportation. France makes war there, loots our resources and decides for and with our corrupt States.
France makes war on us here.
We occupy
Because there are 200,000 empty houses in Paris and our people sleep under the road intersections. Yesterday, the mayor's office surrounded the streets of the Wilson Avenue camp in Saint Denis.
Because in the refuge of Thiais as in all the others, the police comes in the morning to take the inhabitants from the rooms.
To demand the release of our fellow Black Shirts (as the undocumented are called, TN) prisoners locked in detention centers and all others.
To abolish prisons for foreigners!
We do not fight only for the documentation, but against the system that created the undocumented.
We will not pay more to a teller or to a counter officer to get an appointment.
We do not want to have to negotiate with the Interior Ministry and its prefectures any more.
WE WANT TO SPEAK WITH PRIME MINISTER EDOUARD PHILIPPE, NOW!
We will stay here until the last one of us has the papers and for the ones that will come after we get the freedom to stay!
To all those who revolt here, in Sudan or in Algeria,
To our comrades, to all those who fight against the exploiters.
To all those who think that no human being is illegal.
To all those who got fed up with being the prey of the extreme right every 5 years.
And those who are convinced that the fight against racism that is coming is the fight against racism now.
Papers and homes for everyone!
Freedom of movement and permanence!
Long live the fight of the Black Vests!
