This is a text that must be presented at the beginning of the school year. Guest on BFMTV-RMC this Wednesday morning, Bruno Retailleau, president of the group Les Républicains au Sénat, announced that a text on immigration will be presented for first reading before the Senate at the beginning of the school year in September.
“What Franck Riester announced to us during the Conference of Presidents that took place last night in the Senate, is that there is going to be a text on immigration at the beginning of the school year and this text, he had asked the Prime Minister, will be examined first. reading by the Senate,” he announced.
Bruno Retailleau “waits to see” the law announced by Gérald Darmanin
This text will be presented at the same time as the law announced by the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin on Tuesday on BFMTV, on foreign offenders. He assured that he wanted a conviction and then an expulsion for foreigners who do not respect the law, for what he supposed for them “a form of double punishment.” The law that he will present will allow “eliminating all the legislative reservations” that impede this procedure.
Faced with this announcement, Bruno Retailleau was cautious. “Gérald Darmanin rejected all the tough measures that were offered to him against immigration during the previous five years, so I am waiting to see,” he declared.
The president of the LR group also considered that “one of the biggest failures” of Emmanuel Macron’s first five years, “is the issue of security and immigration.”
To back up his statements, Bruno Retailleau cited an information report written by François-Noël Buffet, chairman of the Senate law committee, which indicates “that only 5.7%” of the obligations to leave French territory were fulfilled during the first half of 2021.
BFMTV guest on Tuesday night, Gérald Darmanin, for his part, announced a 25% increase in successful expulsions in the first half of 2022, noting that the government had withdrawn “70,000 residence permits”. According to him, “9,800 people in an irregular situation” have been expelled from French territory since January.
