Jean-Philippe Tanguy, National Rally deputy for the Somme, was the guest of “8h30 franceinfo”, Sunday November 19, 2023. Israel-Hamas conflict, immigration bill… He answered questions from Jean-Rémi Baudot and Agathe Lambret.
Israel-Hamas conflict: “Demonstrating for peace without conditions seems nice” but it amounts to “maintaining” Hamas
“I will not go“to the silent march for peace, planned in Paris from 2 p.m. this Sunday, declares Jean-Philippe Tanguy. 500 personalities from the world of culture are expected in the procession.”Demonstrating for peace without conditions sounds nice” but “making peace with a terrorist movement without disarming it and without asking for anything is to maintain this movement“, namely Hamas, defends the RN deputy.
The elected official recalls that he demonstrated against anti-Semitism on November 12 and in solidarity with the Israelis after the Hamas attacks in Israel. On the other hand, he repeats that these calls to demonstrate for peace “without condition” THE “disturb“because it creates according to him”confusion“.
Contrary to what actress Julie Gayet declared, earlier this Sunday on franceinfo, Jean-Philippe Tanguy considers that “we always choose a side“. He pursues : “When we are faced with Islamist terrorists or anti-Semites, I don’t see how we can’t choose a side“.
Israel-Hamas conflict: the RN has “never” expressed its unconditional support for Israel
The National Rally deputy recalls that his party supports Israel. “A democracy, our ally, has the right to defend itself and we have no reason to think that it does not respect what we must all respect, including France when it is in conflict: international law, law of war, humanitarian law“, he argues.
But Jean-Philippe Tanguy assures that the RN has “Never“expressed his unconditional support for Israel, because”that doesn’t make much sense“. The MP would, however, like to point out that Yaël Braun-Pivet, President of the National Assembly and Renaissance MP, affirmed unconditional support for the country.
Referendum on immigration: “when we see cowardice [du gouvernement]we want to go back to the polls”
“We want to bring down this government and when we see the cowardice in the referendum, we want to return to the polls“, declares Jean-Philippe Tanguy. Emmanuel Macron and party leaders meeting last Friday in Saint-Denis concluded that it is impossible to organize a referendum on immigration as it stands, due to lack of consensus on the subject.
Jean-Philippe Tanguy assures that RN deputies will vote “any motion of censure which has a political purpose and which has the chance of succeeding“. The Republicans warn that they will table a motion of censure if the government triggers 49.3 for the immigration bill. The deputy for Somme announces that he is ready to vote “for”.
Immigration bill: as it stands, the National Rally “cannot vote for”
Jean-Philippe Tanguy is not satisfied with the tougher version of the immigration bill adopted by the senators. As it stands, the National Rally “cannot vote for it, we will see what the parliamentary work gives“. Afterwards, “we will see if we support this law or not“, explains the MP.” The Senate, under the guise of firmness, transfers the power to regularize illegal immigrants who supposedly work in the Ministry of the Interior and the government“, he reproaches.
The RN deputy particularly targets the Republicans who, according to him, “once again, are very loose“. Because they “had promised to completely eliminate this possibility of regularization for undocumented immigrants, but they did not do so“. Jean-Philippe Tanguy specifies that the RN deputies will vote “without a doubt” For ” technical measures in this text, article by article“. But he repeats that he “is out of the question to entrust Mr. Darmanin and his friends with the power to regularize anyone“.
