Overview
- In a study published on November 7, the group estimates net gains of about €3.3 billion per year for the state and social security from a reoriented asylum and migration policy.
- The plan’s five levers include allowing asylum seekers to work earlier (€139 million), halting planned expansion of administrative detention (€219 million), rationalising OQTF issuance (€41 million), prioritising dedicated asylum reception over general emergency shelter (€14–14.6 million), and regularising 250,000 workers (€2.9 billion).
- FTDA argues current policy is a human and financial "double waste" and urges a shift to faster integration and targeted, limited use of detention.
- The proposals land as PLF 2026 boosts enforcement outlays, including €156.2 million to raise CRA capacity from 1,959 to 2,299 places in 2026, while integration funding sees only a modest increase.
- Unions have opposed a draft decree restricting access to state medical aid, and the government is weighing a separate decree to let consulates access the AME database, with none of FTDA’s package adopted to date.
