A Minister of Justice in support of his colleague of the Interior. Guest of BFMTV on Thursday evening, Éric Dupond-Moretti sought to defend Gerald Darmanin, after the latter triggered a diplomatic crisis with Italy by estimating on RMC that its Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, is “unable to resolve migration problems”. In reaction, the head of Italian diplomacy Antonio Tajani canceled his first visit to Paris, scheduled for the same evening.
“All that will be forgotten tomorrow”, nevertheless judged the Keeper of the Seals, arguing that “we need Italy and Italy needs us” to deal with the “migration question”. Which is not “Franco-French”, but “European”, insisted the former lawyer.
Fervent opponent of the National Rally (RN), Éric Dupond-Moretti also wanted to recall that Gérald Darmanin gave the reply to Jordan Bardella. Present at the Italian border in Manton on Wednesday, the president of the flame party slammed a government that “smashed all immigration records”, according to him.
“We need the Italians”
“Who is Jordan Bardella kidding?”, replied the host of Place Beauvau on RMC. Before returning the responsibility for the “influx of migrants to Manton” to the head of Brothers of Italy, “chosen by the friends of Madame Le Pen” and “unable to resolve the migratory problems on which she was elected”, according to him. Subtitle: the arrival of the French far right in power would not change the effectiveness of migration policy.
“Naturally, as Mr. Bardella has for Mrs. Meloni the eyes of Chimene, and well Gérald Darmanin tells him a certain number of things”, inserted Éric Dupond-Moretti on BFMTV.
“For the rest, Catherine Colona (Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs) took a press release to say what I am telling you, namely that we need the Italians”, he then concluded.
