VIDEO. Expulsions of convicted foreigners: Jordan Bardella welcomes Gérald Darmanin’s “wink” but assures not to be “fooled”

Jordan Bardella, acting president of the National Rally, asked on Tuesday July 12 on franceinfo that France “stop kowtowing to Algeria” on the subject of Algerian nationals subject to decisions of expulsion from French territory. Of 7,731 deportation requests to Algeria, between January and July 2021, Algiers issued only 31 consular laissez-passer, an execution rate of 0.2%, according to government figures released in September 2021.

Jordan Bardella asks France to toughen up the tone: we must “engage in a diplomatic discussion and threaten, if Algeria does not wish to resume its spam and its undesirables, that is to say these foreign delinquents and criminals, to cut co-development aid, fund transfers and repatriation of money. I can assure you that if you do that in a quarter of an hour, your offenders are on the plane”.

“Should we accept that Algeria sends its foreign delinquents and criminals to France and that these people attack and commit looting and theft?”

The representative of the RN recognizes on the other hand the “little wink” that Gérald Darmanin makes in the direction of the party of Marine Le Pen. The Minister of the Interior announced in an interview with Le Monde published on Saturday the expulsion of all foreigners who have committed “serious acts” on French territory. “It’s a little wink that he obviously makes in our directionassures Jordan Bardella, but I’m not fooled by that. They made that promise twenty times.” With Emmanuel Macron and Gérald Darmanin, “everyone goes in, but no one goes out”, he added.
