France Offers Migrants €2,500 to Return Home

the problem of illegal migration to Europe
France’s Immigration and Integration Bureau (OFII) is offering migrants €2,500 each if they voluntarily return to their home country before the end of this year.


In an interview with Sputnik, Francois Guennoc, Vice President of Migrants’ Shelter association, said the allowance would hardly help solve the problem of illegal migration to Europe.

”The OFII is now considering around 80,000 asylum requests [there were 85,726 such applications in 2016, which is 13.3 percent more than in 2015], and only 5 percent or so return home,” Francois Guennocs told told Sputnik France.

”The French authorities are not doing enough to accommodate and protect incoming migrants, both adults and children. This measure will not solve the problem of accommodating migrants in France,” he added.

Earlier, Interior Minister Gerard Collomb announced that the government allowance to refugees exiting the country would be raised from €1,000 to €2,500 before December 31, 2017.
