The five candidates for the LR nomination for the presidential election competed in firmness on immigration, promising "stop" or reduction of the right to soil, this Sunday during their second debate on BFMTV and RMC. Promising that his hand "will not tremble in the name of republican firmness", Xavier Bertrand pleaded for a "30% drop in labor immigration", 50% in student immigration and for "dividing by three l 'family immigration'. To migrate, it will be necessary to "justify income, sufficient housing, and speak French," he added, repeating his promise to review the Touquet agreements which place in France control of the Franco-British border.
Michel Barnier defended his idea of a moratorium on immigration in order to “put a stop to it”, in particular on family reunification “which we will drastically curb”.
"We will stop the massive regularizations", he added, deeming it necessary "that we find legal sovereignty" on this subject.
"The moratorium is not zero immigration," replied Valérie Pécresse according to whom "we must stop automatic land rights including in metropolitan France", so that children born to foreign parents "make a real choice" to their majority and that "we verify their assimilation" in the light of their "respect for the values of the Republic" and their "clean criminal record".
Zemmour still present in the debate
For Eric Ciotti, the “massive” immigration that France is experiencing “calls into question the foundations of our history”. Taking up his slogan for "that France remains France", he pleaded for "to stop family reunification" and estimated that naturalization should only be possible at the end of "a long process of integration" of "au less ten years ”. Philippe Juvin said he was "in favor of leaving the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights) as long as article 8", which enshrines the right to live in a family "has not been rewritten". If he refused the idea of "limiting the number of students" who are "part of the influence of France", he pleaded for "an end to social immigration", and for a "grand plan of investment in Africa ”.
Asked about the arrival of Eric Zemmour at the Bataclan on Saturday evening of the sixth anniversary of the attacks, Michel Barnier deplored a “provocation” which is “not very worthy”. "We expected dignity and respect, obviously these are not two concepts that live in Eric Zemmour", assured Xavier Bertrand. "It was a moment of contemplation, in a moment of contemplation we do not have controversy," added Valérie Pécresse. Eric Ciotti estimated that Eric Zemmour "was free to go where he wants in a country of freedom", wondering about the "Moscow trial" which is made to him.
Faced with the flow of migrants massed on the border between Belarus and Poland, the five candidates had previously pleaded for firmness against the regime of Belarusian President, Michel Barnier evoking "to bring Mr. Lukachenko before the International Criminal Court".
"We must not welcome these migrants because that would be giving in to blackmail," said Eric Ciotti, while Xavier Bertrand wanted "we help the Poles to protect our border" from the EU.
For Valérie Pécresse, “it is the very existence of Europe that is at stake”.
