Catherine Nay: "The fight against Islamism is the fight of our time"

The beheading of a professor by an Islamist terrorist has sparked such a wave of anger, indignation, disgust, that President Emmanuel Macron can no longer rely on words.

He must act.

He wants to act.

Very well, the country is waiting!

This is Catherine Nay's political editorial.

The horror of Samuel Paty's assassination created a national shock.

Awareness.

The fight against Islamism is the fight of our time.

The Republic is in danger.

That an 18-year-old Chechen living 80km from Conflans-Sainte-Honorine was able to take action demonstrates the intensity and persuasive power of Islamist propaganda on social networks, no doubt heightened by the president's speech against Islamist separatism.

Already, the Minister of the Interior has taken decisions: searches in 12 departments, to destabilize the movement.

Punch actions.

Dissolution of the collective against Islamophobia, CCIF, and of Barkacity, who are Islamic stalkers.

Closure of the Pantin mosque.

And expulsion of 231 foreigners followed for radicalization.

They are about 800.

The minister did not wait for the Conflans tragedy to go to Morocco and give a list of 9 names to his counterparts: "Well, take them back!" ... But nobody wants them!

So, we will have to negotiate.

The minister will go to Algeria, Tunisia.

But it's not enough to snap your fingers!

Why is it so difficult to evict?

The reality is that France has let its guard down for over 30 years!

In 1977, nearly 6,000 had been expelled.

A figure which plummeted from 81: a little over 1,000.

Without controversy, the left largely bears the responsibility.

Today three quarters of evictions are not carried out.

Going from intention to results is not won in this case?

Indeed because the State has lost by negligence, the ground gained by the Islamist preachers.

Little by little, the worm settled in the fruit: veil, burkini, menus hallal, separation of girls and boys in swimming pools, refusal of husbands to allow their wives to be examined by a man in the hospital.

The National Education gave in, not to make waves.

So how do you do it?

The State must build up its legal arsenal, which is a soft underbelly.

That the Constitutional Council has censored a law governing terrorists on their release from prison is proof of great blindness.

We must review the right to asylum.

France has always been very generous.

But, since the 1980s, we have accepted people who do not adhere to our values, hence the problem today.

And then the unaccompanied minors, who arrive every week like that, from Italy, by plane from Morocco, thanks to smugglers who make a fortune and who dispatch them to the departments, where they immediately claim their rights to be fed, housed, trained , paid.

They are 40,000 today.

It is a cost: 2 billion and a half for the departments!

This means that it will take a lot of courage for the government to clean up the land.
