immigration, central theme of Valérie Pécresse, traveling to Greece

Valérie Pécresse travels to the borders of Europe. She is in Greece, Saturday, January 15, in a migrant camp, to promote an alliance of countries bordering Europe. The island of Samos is one of the main gateways to Europe, a few kilometers from the Turkish coast. For several years, the new arrivals gathered in a wild camp, which is now closed. Greece has opened a new one, organized and closed.

Migrants no longer circulate freely there. Their asylum applications are examined on the spot. “If we don’t take the Greek example, (…) then we will continue to have a sieve Europe which is that of President Macron”, denounces Valérie Pécresse. For Eric Ciotti, who accompanies the candidate, immigration remains a central concern of the French. Not letting voters slip away to the right of Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour, this is also the objective of this trip of the candidate Les Républicains, as she battles them for a spot in the second round.
