Emmanuel Macron says he assumes a “useful text”, “the shield that we lacked”

He persists and signs. Guest of the show “C à vous” on France 5, Wednesday December 20, Emmanuel Macron confirmed his support for the immigration bill, adopted the day before after having been toughened in the negotiations with the Republicans. For the Head of State, this text is “the shield that we lacked”faced with the challenges posed, according to him, by immigration.

“The heart of what we want to do (…) is to say that we must fight against flows, illegal arrivals (…) and the second objective is to better integrate through ‘Language learning and work’assured the President of the Republic.

“The National Rally, it plays on fears, it says that there is an overwhelm [migratoire]”points out Emmanuel Macron, who believes that there is “an immigration problem” in France, but the country is not “overtaken by immigration”. Does this text sign an ideological victory for the RN, as Marine Le Pen claimed yesterday? The President of the Republic refutes this idea and denounces “bath boy maneuver”, “rude”from the far-right party.
