After the riots that affected France, Marc Ferracci, Renaissance MP for the French in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, stresses that these recent events should not be linked to immigration. Invited to the microphone of Europe 1 Morning, the deputy supports that there are other determinisms to explain these riots.
This Friday, in the columns of Figaro Magazine, the former director of the DGSE, Pierre Brochand, describes what happened during the riots in France as a “revolt against the French national state by a significant part of the youth of non-European origin present on his territory”. Marc Ferracci, Renaissance MP for the French in Switzerland and Liechtenstein and then member of the Social Affairs Committee, explains, at the microphone of Dimitri Pavlenko, that he does not share this observation.
Determinisms other than immigration
For the deputy of the French from abroad, it is necessary to give time to analyze things. “People who connect in an extremely peremptory way. And I use this term about what has been written, in particular by Mr. Brochand, between immigration and violence”, explains Marc Ferracci. It is unanimous: Pierre Brochand is “totally” wrong.
“When we rigorously analyze the data relating to delinquency, when we look at what are the determinants of delinquency, immigration does not appear as one of its determinants”, points the finger at the member of the Social Affairs Committee . No connection between immigration and the riots.
According to him, there are other determinants than immigration to explain the riots that affected the four corners of France. “There are also questions that are educational, family. There are many answers to be given. But the fact of being an immigrant, that is to say being born in the “foreigner of foreign parents. And you know that in the rioters, there is a small proportion of foreigners, 10%”, measures the politician.
