The President of the Republicans launches a charge against the law on separatism.

Following a meeting with Gerald Darmanin on Monday, Christian Jacob even considered that it "will never come into effect".

With the Minister of the Interior, he deplored the weak place of immigration in the project.

The presidential slowing down

Gérald Darmanin, who spoke by videoconference with Christian Jacob in the afternoon, intends to send the text to the Council of State "mid-November" so that it is on the agenda of the Assembly " end of January 2021 ”, recalled the boss of LR.

"This means that the time of the parliamentary shuttle, we will be on a text just adopted at the end of the year [2021], and which in my opinion will never come into effect, as long as there are implementing decrees, with the presidential campaign that will start, ”he said.

During this interview, the Minister of the Interior recalled that there would be in the text measures aimed at "strengthening neutrality in public services" as well as "strengthening of controls for schools not under contract" and for religious associations "an incentive to switch from the law of 1901 to 1905".

But, “why be afraid to talk about the reform of the right to asylum, the explosion of residence permits or unaccompanied minors, the closure of places of worship run by Salafists or the Muslim Brotherhood?

When we broach the subject of separatism, it must be asked, ”said Christian Jacob, who had at his side the LR vice-president of the National Assembly Annie Genevard and the LR senator Jacqueline Eustache-Brinio.

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan consulted

The boss of LR also specified that Gérald Darmanin had not given him any draft text but had mentioned seeing it again "probably in a month with a text".

The Minister of the Interior also met Monday evening with the president of Debout la France, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, who insisted on "the ban on foreign funding" of places of worship and proposed as in 2017 that priests , rabbis, and imams "take an oath to the Republic".
