Alex Reed of CNews and Europe 1 this Monday morning, the former President of the Republic estimated that “immigration is a problem”.
“Firmness and humanity”. The formula, which punctuates the debates on immigration, was pronounced on September 22 by the Prime Minister himself, Michel Barnier, to discuss his policy on the management of migratory flows. An expression castigated by the former President of the Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy, who believes that it is now necessary “to prioritize” one on top of the other. “We cannot satisfy Place Beauvau and Place Vendôme at the same time”decided the former head of state this Monday morning on CNews and Europe 1, while the Ministers of the Interior and Justice are already revealing dissonant political lines on the subject. “Firmness will pose problems of humanity”also affirmed Nicolas Sarkozy, before stating more clearly that “immigration is a problem”.
After the murder of Philippine, 19, whose alleged murderer is a Moroccan national subject to an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) and already sentenced to seven years in prison for rape, Nicolas Sarkozy took up the case to unfold his proposals on immigration. “We have to change everything”he declared about the OQTFs, calling for the granting of visas to be conditional on “ consular return authorizations”.
The former tenant of the Élysée also wants the Schengen area to no longer be under the control of a European commissioner but of“a European government led by interior ministers who would elect a president from among themselves”. He further judges that “Africa’s economic development is the only lasting solution to the immigration challenge.” “Our destinies are linked”he insisted. Also, he suggests “all European countries (to open) counters in the south of the Mediterranean so that the files can be processed before these unfortunate people cross the Mediterranean.” “Any file which would be submitted or which would be investigated after crossing the Mediterranean should be refused”he said.
