“I find it deeply irresponsible that Anne Hidalgo puts herself at odds with the law”, declares Pieyre-Alexandre Anglade, Renaissance deputy for French people abroad on franceinfo Friday December 22. The mayor of Paris announced Friday that she refused to “sort” between people hosted in emergency accommodation places, as she believes the immigration law would require.
The deputy accuses Anne Hidalgo and her “Friends at the National Assembly of the Nupes” having “destroyed” the original bill “perhaps more balanced” by joining forces with the National Rally to vote on the motion to reject. “We had a good text which allowed us to build with the right and the left of the hemicycle. The left chose to reject it en bloc and therefore we worked with the Les Républicains deputies”he explains.
This law is a “imperfect compromise”concedes Pieyre-Alexandre Anglade, but also a “important, useful text awaited by the French”, according to him. He responds to “requires firmness towards delinquent foreigners” and to a “requirement of humanity”he asserts, particularly with the “regularization of a certain number of workers in professions in shortage”.
