At the microphone of Europe 1, Bishop Benoist de Sinety believes that the measures of the government's plan to regulate immigration is not satisfactory. For the Vicar General of the Archbishop of Paris, one must first ask the question of what drives illegal immigrants to come.

INTERVIEW

In the late morning on Wednesday, Édouard Philippe announced the 20 measures of the government to "regain control of (our) migration policy". The measures that had already been leaked to the press in recent days have been confirmed: the introduction of a waiting period of three months before asylum seekers can access Universal Health Protection (Puma), and setting up quantitative objectives or quotas for professional immigration. "But for Benoist de Sinety, general vicar of the Archbishop of Paris in charge of migrants, who was the guest of Nathalie Levy, Wednesday night, on Europe 1," all that is not satisfactory ".

"We are exhausted without ever thinking about why we got there"

Invited to the Grand Journal of the evening , the priest felt "that we are forced to have a close view of the situation when we must instead have a broad view of the situation." According to the vicar, "we have been exhausted for 40 years to know how we will manage migratory flows, without ever thinking about why we got there".

Bishop Benoist de Sinety advocates action upstream: "The real question is why these people come, and what to do to stay at home?", He analyzes. "When I see the 3,700 people between the Porte de la Chapelle and the Porte d'Aubervilliers who camp outside, and who are attacked by rats at night, I do not know if they are right to come."

As for the people who can abuse the AME or the Puma, the priest recalls that "there are in many fields, especially with regard to sick leave, but that we will not remove the right to Be sick".
