Sunday June 18, Olivier Marleix is the guest of Francis Letellier in the program “Sunday in politics”. The president of the deputies of the Republicans and deputy of Eure-et-Loir notably addressed the subject of immigration, pension reform, but also the survival of the rural world.
Sunday June 18, Emmanuel Macron announced that the resistant Missak Manouchian would be pantheonized on February 21, 2024. A beautiful symbol, according to Olivier Marleix. “There are lots of young people who gave their lives for our freedom. This is the case of Manouchian, who was of Armenian origin, who was not a Gaullist but a communist. We must pay tribute to the diversity of resistance”underlined the president of the deputies of the Republicans.
An immigration which, if it is “massive” And “uncontrolled”, “kill”, in the words of a tweet by Olivier Marleix, after the knife attack in Annecy. Words he does not regret. “He was one of those asylum seekers who were unfortunately given asylum very quickly, when in reality we don’t know him”, he says. According to him, the “volumes of people welcomed are enormous”922,000 people received in the European Union this year, he specifies.
A review clause on pensions
On the rural world, Olivier Marleix believes that if we see a future there, “it must be allowed to continue to welcome inhabitants” and break with the action of the government which aims to “prevent construction”. “Everything that the Prime Minister does will have no long-term consequences if we do not have the lucidity to authorize construction again. Without renewal of the populations, we risk killing the rural world”, insists- he.
“I see that the ecologists, the far left, are looking for a kind of radicalism. We cannot say that Madame Rousseau is someone who seeks appeasement. She is permanently in any form of provocation”he says about the insults received by Sandrine Rousseau and Marine Tondelier in Aude, a few days ago.
If the right returned to power in 2027, there would be a “review clause” on pension reform, says Olivier Marleix. “Italy and Spain have a starting right at 67. Mrs. Meloni has not gone back on this reform, neither has the left in power in Spain. Today, those who, like Mrs. Le Pen or Mr. Mélenchon say that you should not touch the 62 years old, are people who lie to the French”he adds.
