Manuel Bompard, deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône and coordinator of insubordinate France, was the guest of the Grand Rendez-vous d’Europe 1 / CNews / Les Échos this Sunday. Asked about the question of immigration to France, he does not believe “that there is today in France, as I read on the right or on the far right, a migratory submersion”.
While the government has relaunched “consultations” in the hope of presenting a bill on immigration to France in July, the various political parties are also trying to move forward on this very sensitive issue. The Republicans have announced their intention to table two bills by the summer. La France insoumise has been more discreet on the subject, but Manuel Bompard, party coordinator and deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône, assures Sonia Mabrouk’s microphone “to have no problem talking about immigration”. Guest of the Grand Rendez-vous d’Europe 1/CNews/Les Echos this Sunday, he recalled the positions defended by LFI.
A matter of national sovereignty
“A consensus with the proposals which are those of Gérald Darmanin seems impossible to me because I fight them”, he launches, critical. In question: proposals that he considers drawn from the proposals of the Republicans, themselves “taken up on the program of Marine Le Pen of the last presidential”. In this sense, the deputy does not wish, for example, to go back on state medical aid, regularly put in the balance, especially for foreigners in an irregular situation.
The question of immigration is also a question of national sovereignty and on this point the coordinator of France insoumise wishes to be clear: “Fortunately not[thatEuropeanlawdoesnottakeprecedenceovernationallawbutitseemstomethatweparticipateinacertainnumberofinternationalorEuropeanagreementswhichmakeitpossibletoguaranteeacertainnumberofbasicrightsandwemustratherfighttoprotectthemratherthantocallthemintoquestion”explainshe[queledroit européenneprimepassurledroitnationalmaisilmesemblequel’onparticipeàuncertainnombred’accordsinternationauxoueuropéensquipermettentdegarantiruncertainnombrededroits élémentairesetilfautplutôtqu’onsebattepourlesprotégerplutôtquedelesremettreencause”explique-t-il
For Manuel Bompard, while it is essential to reflect on the flow of refugees, particularly with the climate crisis which is getting worse, it is also necessary to discuss current national issues, namely: the health system, inflation and rising wages.
