He refuses to let himself “to bamboozle in yet another lukewarm scenario”. The president of the Les Républicains (LR) party, Eric Ciotti, asked “solemnly” to Emmanuel Macron to receive him on the question of immigration, in an interview published on Saturday June 10 In The Parisian.
“It is at the Elysée that it will be decided, it is the President of the Republic who has the keys, and he alone”estimates the deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes, recalling however that in the company of the presidents of the LR groups in the Senate, Bruno Retailleau, and in the embly, Olivier Marleix, they would respond to the invitation of the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin , ” out of courtesy “.
The Republicans have tabled two very hard-line immigration bills against a government that hopes for a compromise around its future bill. But “it’s a fake outstretched hand, there’s no firmness in the handshake”regretted Eric Ciotti, for whom only the proposal of LR can “solve the problem of immigration in our country”. The party provides in particular for the possibility of derogating from the primacy of the treaties and European law.
Consultations in progress
“The President of the Republicans asks to be received by the President of the Republic to discuss, it is legitimate”, reacted The president of the MoDem, François Bayrou, on Sunday, on Europe 1-Les Echos-CNews. But, according to Mr. Bayrou, ” [déroger à la primauté des traités et du droit européen] will not happen, because, without it, the others will leave the European treaties to our detriment”.
However, LR propositions are not “not demagoguery”considers the ally of Emmanuel Macron. “Republicans, socialists are trying hard to find a way”according to him.
