the government wants to expel “any foreigner” who has “committed serious acts”

Gérald Darmanin wants to further tighten the migration policy. In an interview given to WorldSaturday July 9, the Minister of the Interior announces that the government wishes to make possible the expulsion of “every stranger” who “committed serious acts” in particular by lifting the condition of age of arrival in France.

“Today, a foreigner who has committed serious acts is not deportable as long as he meets certain conditions, such as arriving on national territory before the age of 13”said the Minister. “We want to allow the expulsion of any foreigner found guilty of a serious act by the courts, regardless of their condition of presence on national territory”he added.

This new provision will be integrated into the future orientation and programming law of the Ministry of the Interior (Lopmi), “presented at the start of the school year”added the Minister. “We are ready to discuss, amend and find compromises with the LRs, the centrists and even part of the left” to pass this law, he continued.

The government is also willing to “to resume” in the Lopmi “a number of proposals such as Bruno Retailleau’s (LR) anti-breaker law”further details Gérald Darmanin, and, “in terms of immigration, to reflect on the conclusions of the excellent report” by François-Noël Buffet (LR).
