For the Republican presidential candidate Éric Ciotti, migrants must be disembarked at their place of departure, the only way, according to him, to stop it “smuggling business”.
“France should not welcome” migrant boats looking for a port to dock, launches Tuesday, November 8 on franceinfo the deputy LR of the Alpes-Maritimes and candidate for the presidency of the Republicans Éric Ciotti. “These boats must dock at their port of departure, in Libya or Tunisia”solution, according to him, to stop the “smuggler trade”. “There is no reason why they should not be sent back to Tunisia, which is an established state.”
Eric Ciotti therefore says to himself “absolutely” basically in agreement with the formula “let them go back to Africa”for which the deputy RN Grégoire de Fournas was temporarily excluded from the National Assembly. “The racist form must always be condemned”, he declares. But…
“Basically, there is no reason for smugglers who engage in human trafficking to see their dark designs implemented by associations that bring migrants back to Europe”.

Regarding the immigration bill, announced last Wednesday by the government, Éric Ciotti denounces “a hoax”. In particular, he opposes the residence permit offered to recruit in so-called shortage occupations. “It is again a measure of regularization of foreigners in an irregular situation”according to him. “We are going to launch a call for illegal immigration. I will oppose it very clearly”.
In addition, the LR deputy estimates that the 120,000 people who are subject to an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) “have a vocation to leave”. To enforce these OQTFs more, he proposes to go from 1,800 to “5,000 places in detention centers“. With the 1,800 places, “we placed 40,000 people in detention last year since the average duration is about twenty days”. With 5,000 seats, “we would not be far from 120,000” evictions, he calculates.
Éric Ciotti still imagines “places suitable for families”. On the other hand, it also wishes to place people who have appealed against their OQTF in detention centres. “We have to give ourselves the means” for “going towards expulsion”, estimates the candidate for the presidency of the Les Républicains party, whose election will take place on the weekends of November 3 and 10. Aurélien Pradié and Bruno Retailleau are also candidates. They will all three be auditioned on November 26.
