After controversy surrounding the GuillotièreGérald Darmanin insists and says that he wants a conviction and then an expulsion for foreigners who do not respect the law.
The Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, a guest on BFMTV this Tuesday night, said that he was assuming “a form of double punishment” with regard to the expulsion of foreign offenders from the territory, when he planned to present at the beginning of the school year a law to “remove all legislative reservations” that prevent this procedure.
“I suppose, a form of recovery from the double punishment,” he said on our antenna. “France is generous and welcomes foreigners who live on our soil with open arms. I think there is no such generous country. Common sense is to respect the rules of the Republic, otherwise we’re leaving.” .
“Foreigners are judged for what they do and not for what they are,” continued the Minister of the Interior, acknowledging that he preferred “to keep on national soil a foreigner who has illegally arrived on national soil but who respects the laws of the Republic and perhaps wants to integrate into society, (…) before foreigners who have committed criminal acts. Between two people to be expelled, I obviously prioritize the one who has committed criminal acts. “
According to him, “9,800 people in an irregular situation” have been expelled from French territory since January.
