While the government announced that it wanted to resume consultations around the immigration bill, the boss of the LR senators was annoyed but assured that his party would participate.
The Republicans will “of course” participate in the consultations on immigration that the government intends to carry out even if the latter “makes fun of the world”, said the boss of senators LR Bruno Retailleau this Saturday at the Parisian.
“This text never stops being programmed, deprogrammed and then reprogrammed!” he was annoyed, repeating his conviction that “immigration is the blind spot of macronism” because “we cannot want to both expel more illegal immigrants and regularize more illegals”.
Elisabeth Borne asked Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin on Tuesday to relaunch “consultations” to present “in July” a bill on immigration to the Council of Ministers, with a view to parliamentary examination in the fall.
Bruno Retailleau also specified the timetable for the two texts that Les Républicains intend to present on the subject, and which will be tabled “within a fortnight”.
A call to be “ideologically strong” at LR
“We want firmness at all levels, to restrict the conditions of family immigration, to expel all foreign offenders, to demand that asylum applications be filed outside, but also to regain our legal sovereignty”, a- he explained.
While LR was deeply divided during the pension reform, Bruno Retailleau also estimated that party president Eric Ciotti “will have to decide” on the case of deputy Aurélien Pradié, at the forefront of the sling, and his possible exclusion. of the group or even of the party.
“When you are numerically weak, you have to be ideologically strong,” he said, judging it unacceptable “that on each subject, some systematically take the opposite view for their personal glory”.
