Gérald Darmanin hoped on Tuesday that “firm measures” against “irregular immigration” and “foreigner delinquency” would be “adopted by the end of the year”, the day after the rejection of his bill in The national assembly.

Gérald Darmanin hoped on Tuesday that “firm measures” against “irregular immigration” and “foreigner delinquency” would be “adopted by the end of the year”, the day after the rejection of his bill in The national assembly. “I regret that we are wasting time to protect the French,” the Minister of the Interior declared to the press during a trip to the Maisons-Alfort police station in Val-de-Marne.

Rejected on Monday by a motion voted by the oppositions, his bill will now be discussed within a joint committee (CMP), made up of seven deputies and seven senators. “I want firm measures for the police, for the magistrates, for the prefects very quickly”, ensuring that his text was “popular with the French”.

“We played against France”

Gérald Darmanin also announced that he would go to Calais on Wednesday to meet police officers and gendarmes engaged in the fight against illegal immigration. The tenant of Place Beauvau intends to prove his determination to stay in office. “This is not a text for me, it is a text for the French. It is a bill which is supported by the population, all the polls show it. These are firm measures that have been taken many countries around us. I therefore regretted the political policies and the unnatural alliances. We played against France,” he asserted.

The bitterness is still felt in Gérald Darmanin’s voice, the day after the snub suffered in the Assembly. The former mayor of Tourcoing is having difficulty digesting the betrayal of the Republicans, his former political family. The one who has long been presented as the only minister capable of working with the right no longer even obtains the favors of Eric Ciotti who now wishes to exchange with his superior, Elisabeth Borne.
