ANALYSIS
Last week there was this speech to the members asking them to take the issue of immigration again. "This is a subject in itself that must be taken with maturity and calm," had pleaded the president against his majority on Monday night. And today Emmanuel Macron expresses himself publicly on Europe 1 on the same subject. One question remains: why is he so insistent on this issue?
First, the President of the Republic is convinced that immigration, border control and French identity will be at the heart of the presidential election of 2022. He considers that the return match with Marine Le Pen is inevitable. From there, he makes the observation - and it is besides one of the exceptional aspects of the extract which we have just diffused - that the immigration asylum law of Gerard Collomb, nevertheless voted barely a year ago , has not demonstrated its effectiveness.
Heard on europe1:
"France can not welcome everyone"
Emmanuel Macron even talks about failure, the response times to asylum seekers and the deportation to the border ... What is the logical consequence of this reasoning? If he does not react, if he does not clarify his vision, his speech and especially his action against the migratory challenge, then he offers a highway to his opponents, especially those of the RN. But it will take time to install in public opinion the idea of a president without angelism - hence the phrase "France can not accommodate everyone" - but at the same time attached to values, - to where the passage where he regrets a situation today "inefficient and inhuman".
And so to anchor this image in the retina of our fellow citizens, the president starts early. Last week before his majority, and this morning, with this interview to Europe 1, directly to the attention of the French.
