The baker learned from the prefecture that Laye Fodé Traoréiné, an apprentice baker of Guinean origin, now of full age, can be expelled, he reports to
France Inter
.
In order to draw attention to the situation, he went on a hunger strike and started an online petition.
To date, it exceeds 105,000 signatures.
According to the authorities, he did not provide proper papers.
According to the Air and Border Police, their authenticity is questionable.
The lawyer of the young Guinean, Me Amandine Dravigny specifies to
France Inter
that the documents "
come from the Guinean authorities
", that he has "
a birth certificate, a supplementary judgment
" and adds that the authorities of the country have issued him "
a consular identity card
”.
For the lawyer, it is difficult to qualify "
these documents as fake
".
On a human level, Stéphane Ravacley is saddened to see that "
we open the doors to a kid and we tell him '' don't worry, we protect you, you risk nothing ''.
We allocate money to him, we lodge him.
And 2 years later we told him "no, this beautiful dream you were in, it no longer exists, you are going home!"
".
An appeal against the expulsion of Laye Fodé Traoréiné was filed with the administrative court of Besançon.
