Immigration: Olivier Véran “calls on the left not to be outside the debate”

Government spokesman Olivier Véran was the guest of Europe 1 this Friday. At the microphone of Dimitri Pavlenko, he returned to the Republican bills on the issue of immigration, while the first debates on the subject will take place in the Assembly in a few months, and calls on the left “to not not be outside the debate”.

The right counterattacks. After the divisions around the pension reform, Les Républicains want to regain leadership on a subject they master: immigration. Referendum on migration policy, reinstatement of the crime of illegal residence, etc… They unveiled last Sunday in The Sunday newspaper two bills to “take back control” on the subject, says Senator LR Bruno Retailleau.

A majority not necessarily agree with the right

The party’s president, Eric Ciotti, also traveled to Denmark to observe their particularly harsh and restricted migration policy. “The right has had the merit of making proposals”, welcomes Olivier Véran at the microphone of Europe 1. “But I did not hear a member of the government agree with these proposals. And for good reason, they have the merit of making proposals and I think it is good to animate the debate that they do so. But we don’t agree with many of the proposals they make,” he explains, highlighting in particular the disagreement that exists on the issue of foreign workers.

“But I call on the left not to be out of the debate,” he continues. “The French left, social democracy, the left of government, not La France insoumise since we know what they think of it, has things to say about immigration and integration in our country”, judge- he.

Don’t stay out of the shot

“Why? Because the left-wing electorate in our country also expects proposals in this area. And some of these proposals must go towards better regulation of immigration and better organization of integration.

“She shouldn’t stay out of it. And elsewhere in Europe, the left is able to say yes, “We seize the challenge that immigration of integration and we propose to change the rules. After the right, it has proposals which are sometimes interesting but which are sometimes very harsh. We are not going to change the Constitution every time we have to make a law on immigration. We are not going to get out of European and international treaties on these migration issues, “he concludes.
