The assailant, a Syrian refugee, applied for asylum with the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (Ofpra) at the end of October, after arriving in France. The refusal of his request was notified to him on June 4, four days before the attack. “Does it take seven months to decide on a person’s situation? We are there in a deep fault that must be settled“, according to Eric Ciotti.
The LR deputy also recommends that in the event of a refusal of an asylum application, the appeal “not be suspensive“.”In 80% of cases, these are dilatory procedures whose only objective is to remain on national territory in a legal situation., he assures. To hear it, “asylum, too often, has become the legal gateway for illegal immigration” And “we are in this situation“.
“These people, who are often bogus refugees, use this procedure to enter Europehe continues. We say the rule must be the exam [de la demande d’asile] outside [de la France, dans une ambassade le cas échéant]and the exception, restore an exam in France“, he explains. “We provide for it in our constitutional text“, he specifies.
LR has indeed recently filed two bills on immigration. “We take responsibility, the government, if it is sincere to reconsider our proposals“, launches Éric Ciotti, while the executive tries to set up a new immigration law.
