when the RN claims to be heir to the RPR

The National Rally organized its “general states of immigration” on Tuesday evening, a new way of appropriating the heritage of the right in this area, 34 years after those organized by Jacques Chirac’s party.

Recovering the heritage of the RPR is the objective of the National Rally which organized “general states of immigration” on Tuesday March 26, a copy of an event organized by Jacques Chirac’s party in 1990 and which resulted in very harsh conclusions regarding immigration.

Franck Allisio is in charge of this event organized at the Maison de la Chimie in Paris. This RN deputy, from the Republican right, recovered the “RPR” brand a few months ago, a movement parallel to the RN in which he tries to bring together elected officials from the right and sensitive to the theses of the RN.

Right-wing figures cited as examples

This is therefore the second step of this recovery operation: recycling the name “general states of immigration”. 34 years after those organized by Jacques Chirac, Franck Allisio claims the lineage: “‘When it comes to foreigners, in France, the threshold of tolerance has long been exceeded.’ Another quote : ‘Regarding immigration itself, we must stop it because we no longer have the means to welcome it’. These declarations are those of Charles Pasqua and Jacques Chirac respectively.”

Jacques Chirac cited as an example in an RN event, everyone will judge the opportunity. Tuesday evening’s event is far from being a big brainstorm. For three hours, all the speakers argue in the same direction.

Linking immigration and delinquency

Starting with one of the new recruits of the RN: the lawyer Alexandre Varaut, who was close to Philippe de Villiers. “Immigration, structurally, will cause delinquency.” “These are, in fact, socio-cultural reasons which are unstoppable. To put it quickly : when you are an illegal immigrant, there is a time when you have to eat”explains Alexandre Varaut.

Only one solution: close the borders. This is also what the other party recruits for the European elections are saying, such as the essayist Malika Sorel who develops her concept of “national recovery”. “There is even a bonus for non-assimilation. We see it at school : people arrive, do not respect the 2004 law, insult the teachers and nothing happens”she assures.

Three hours to prove that the RN has the right solutions. In conclusion, Jordan Bardella who defends himself from an opportunist approach.
