The lawyer of the Bulgarian seasonal workers which were returned from France, Quentin Décamps, expects to receive the decision of the court of first instance on May 8 on the appeal of the Bulgarians against their non-admission to French territory.

In an interview with the Bulgarian National Radio, Décamps said that access to Bulgarian citizens cannot be denied, given that Bulgaria is a member of the EU. Another part of his claim is that the group of Bulgarians was placed in special conditions - tjhey had to wait in something between a hotel and a prison. Their phones were confiscated, they did not have internet. This is a violation of human rights. It can be said that the conditions were humiliating.

"We are not talking about criminals, but about people who came in France to work, but were deprived of various rights and freedoms without deserving it", the French defender commented.
