E. Martin / ANP / 20 Minutes
Since the beginning of the month, he was no longer under an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF).
This Wednesday, Moussa Nieng can be really relieved.
It is now "regularized", confirmed to
20 minutes
the prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes.
This Senegalese-Ivorian, until then without paper, had been checked at the end of January in the kitchens of Poppies, a restaurant in Nice that its owner had opened despite the bans in force.
The prefect had signed an OQTF against him for which the CGT had requested an annulment "at the national level".
This procedure was finally repealed earlier this month, paving the way for regularization for the 34-year-old man.
A "file is under investigation" then indicated the prefecture.
This Wednesday, it is confirmed, he will be able to benefit from a renewable one-year residence permit.
A not isolated case
Arrived in France in 2011, Moussa Nieng had seen his asylum request refused.
Unionized, he was part of the collective of undocumented workers.
In 2016, he had benefited from a full-time CDI in another restaurant without succeeding in being regularized.
He had been working at the Poppies dive since September, on a part-time permanent contract.
His case would not be isolated on the Côte d'Azur.
The Valls circular of November 2012 makes it possible to be regularized with eight payslips over the last twelve months.
However, the text does not have the force of law and remains an instruction applicable at the discretion of the prefects.
In the case of the cook of the Poppies, it is the Franco-Senegalese agreement relating to the concerted management of migratory flows that applied.
