Immigration workers' union condemns government 'intimidation' of foreign protesters
The Migration Technicians Union (STM) and the Advocatus Iustitia association criticized government remarks warning that foreigners participating in housing protests could risk residency cancellation if they disturb public order. While the government stated this warning applies to violations of public order rather than the act of protesting itself, critics argue the message may be perceived as intimidation by migrant communities.
