Valérie Pécresse praises the Greek “model” in terms of immigration

Valérie Pécresse travels to the borders of Europe. The Republican presidential candidate is in Greece on 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 many years, 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 is also the objective of this move by the candidate Les Républicains, as she competes with them for a place in the second round.
