It has been about 14 months since a Russian family domiciled in Olivet, near Orléans (Loiret) was separated against their will, because of a circular from the Prime Minister limiting the movement of foreigners on French territory due to the Covid- 19.

On January 21, the Council of State considered that it was illegal insofar as it did not provide anything for cases of family reunions, reports

.

The girl's visa had expired

His suspension will allow Vsevolod Kondratiev to find his partner and his 4-year-old daughter.

In December 2019, they had returned to Russia because the child's visitor visa had expired.

The father had then obtained authorizations so that they could live in France permanently;

last July, the prefecture of Loiret had accepted family reunification.

Except that the French embassy in Russia had refused to let the woman and the girl return to France because its border was closed with the country because of the pandemic.

Several associations had referred the matter to the Council of State.

Following his decision, the family recovered their two visas.

The man will pick them up in Minsk (Belarus) by car next April.
