France recently announced the reduction in the number of visas granted to Algerians, Moroccans and Tunisians to put pressure on their governments, deemed uncooperative on the readmission of North Africans expelled from France.
This proposal by the former socialist minister has been widely criticized on the left, some accusing him of taking up themes from the far right. “Do not pass on this murky ground”, urged the leader of La France insoumise Jean-Luc Mélenchon, adding on Twitter : “The Montebourg / Zemmour joint proposal against wage transfers to families in countries of origin will increase the causes of emigration. Cruel, unfair, stupid.”
