Under an OQTF, Mikheil has just been expelled to Georgia despite a serious promise of hiring. Worried about him, his family fears today for his security.
Year after year, the misadventures tirelessly continue to haunt the Inga family. “Since 2019, the prefecture has not let go of us, we spent three years without resources, I lost my job, we were expelled,” explains tears in his eyes, the mother. Arrested Tuesday, January 21 and placed at the Cornebarrieu administrative detention center, Mikheil, her husband, was expelled this Wednesday to Georgia.
An incomprehensible situation for the family. Installed in Ariège with his partner and his two daughters-in-law, aged today aged 14 and 18, for 9 years, Mikheil is a man without stories. Undocumented, the latter could not work, however, despite a promise of hiring signed by an Appamanian laundry.
“In 2023, we did the steps to make my husband with the prefecture. We have transmitted everything, he was waiting for this to be able to work. We refused them because he lacked papers, so we have everything Returned to ensure that the file is complete, “said Inga. But after this new request, it is the cold shower. The refusal is this time accompanied by an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF).
Application of the law
Contacted by La Dépêche du Midi, the Ariège prefecture ensures that Mikheil did not meet the conditions to obtain asylum or common law conditions for a right to stay in France. “The prefect of Ariège has taken a decree against him on the obligation to leave French territory on July 16, 2024 with a period of voluntary departure of 30 days allowing him to regularize his situation in his country of origin. did not take advantage of this period to execute the measure taken by the prefect of himself. to leave French territory, as the law allows, by placing it in the administrative detention center on Tuesday January 21 in order to take a flight to Georgia the next day, that is to say Wednesday, January 22, limiting Thus at its bare minimum the time spent in the detention center. “
According to Me Peter, a family lawyer, this decision is hurting this family more. “He had a promise of serious hiring and had no criminal record, he was never convicted. This decision has consequences that we do not suspect, the family suffers, it is a family that the We separated. “
-Currently in Georgia, Mikheil has already been able to get in touch with his wife to try to reassure her. “We are afraid for him, the situation in the country does not reassure us. For the moment, he is fine, he is hosted for a few days. The police have prohibited him any return to France. During the trip , he expressed his refusal to return to Georgia, they attached his hands and feet, “said the family.
Over 10,000 euros in debt
In 2019, while INGA has been in France for ten years and that it has successively officiated as an agent of maintenance or collective catering in crèches, within a laundry and for a school -Prefecture, without forgetting her mission as a volunteer in Emmaüs, she sees her residence permit not being renewed.
A situation which then prevents him from continuing to work and leads to an accumulation of unpaid rents, which will later lead to an expulsion of his accommodation in Pamiers. A difficult situation for the whole family which is forced to change places regularly to sleep. Today regularized, this period still leaves consequences.
If the youngest of her two daughters is still educated in Pamiers, the biggest has chosen to stop studying to work and helping his mother. “We are at the end. Psychologists have followed us, today we can no longer, we are tired. My mother reimburses 15,000 euros of debt, accumulated for three years when she was deprived of work. Every month, every month, She reimburses and she takes care of us as best she can, “she confesses.
