Zemmour defends in Aulnay his idea of ​​​​a ministry of "remigration"

The far-right presidential candidate, down in the polls around 10%, announced Monday evening that he wanted to create a ministry of "remigration" to expel "foreigners who are no longer wanted", illegal immigrants, delinquents, criminals and files S.

"You shouldn't be afraid of words that upset a small (journalistic) community. There is no radicalization, there is simply a determination that I want to strengthen," he added.

The candidate claimed that right-wing voters "think exactly like (him)", as do RN voters "who consider that Marine Le Pen has abandoned the fundamentals of her party".

They "have the same desire that France remains France".

While the concept of "remigration" is causing internal friction, Eric Zemmour assured that the former FN deputy Marion Maréchal "was there" by his side when the decision was made.

Marine Le Pen, traveling to Hénin-Beaumont (Pas-de-Calais), said she "thought nothing" of this idea.

Eric Zemmour "takes up" this concept, "it must be linked to an electoral situation which is less promising than he hopes".

The RN candidate does not envisage such a ministry, "a demagogic proposal" according to her lieutenant Jordan Bardella on France 2, but she intends to expel the same categories as Eric Zemmour: illegal immigrants, foreign delinquents and criminals, foreign S files.

"It's absolute horror. The neo-fascist Zemmour (...) goes to the end of his logic, a logic that may seem harder than that of Marine Le Pen but ultimately it's still the extreme right and the extreme right who find themselves", estimated on Public Senate the leader of the PS senators Patrick Kanner.
