Migration Technicians dissociate crisis from immigrants

The Migration Technicians Union (STM) condemned narratives linking the housing crisis to immigrants, emphasizing structural factors instead. They argue that blaming immigrants fosters stigma and distracts from necessary solutions. The STM highlights that immigrants contribute significantly to social security and that migration workers are aware of exploitation issues. They express concern over immigration being used politically, which diverts attention from government responsibilities. The STM calls for a fact-based public debate and better public services, asserting that immigrants are part of the solution. Protests for housing rights are ongoing across the country, with calls for measures to address the crisis and control essential goods prices. The Defense Minister linked housing protests to immigration issues.
