After the attack in Hanau, Germany, the candidate Les Républicains (LR) for mayor of Paris, Rachida Dati, estimated Friday that Angela Merkel paid “at a high price” for hosting in 2015 of more than a million of migrants, denouncing on this subject the "laxity" of the socialist mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel "did not measure the consequences" and decided "without anticipation" this massive opening of borders, said on Franceinfo the former Sarkozyst minister, questioned on the double shooting with racist character occurred Thursday near Frankfurt , which left 9 dead.
"When you do not anticipate, when you do not manage, when you do not frame this reception of migrants", whose "majority do not have the same conception of living together as ours, are not aware of our Republican values, […] today there are clashes, ”added the candidate, referring to the city of Paris.
Rachida Dati lambasted in this regard "the lax ideology of Ms. Hidalgo and the wonderful world of Ms. Buzyn", candidate LREM.
In 2015, said candidate LR again, Anne Hidalgo had "said I am inspired by Mrs. Merkel by saying too that I want to welcome overwhelmingly, welcome to migrants and refugees in Paris . What did it lead to? The dispossession of the public and private space of Parisians in the north and east of Paris "and" an explosion of delinquency ".
The former Minister of Justice of the two governments Fillon wanted to “clean up” in the “millions of euros in subsidies which are given to associations which, under the guise of school support, integration, social assistance, attack republican values ”.
Comments deemed "dangerous"
The former Sarkozyst also pointed to the “responsibility” of the mayor of Paris when, according to her, in “emergency accommodation in Paris, many […] places are occupied by expelled migrants”.

The deputy mayor of Paris in charge of refugees, Dominique Versini, denounced in an open letter to Rachida Dati, remarks "dangerous", because of the "links" that the candidate LR establishes "between refugees, delinquency and terrorism", and which aim to "stir up fears and hatred".
1) The comments of @datirachida in the morning show of @franceinfo this morning, which combines reception of refugees, unaccompanied minors, delinquency, security and the shooting in Germany are scandalous and dangerous for our democracy.
- Dominique Versini (@dversini) February 21, 2020"You are using the drama of Hanau and the question of migratory flows for electoral political purposes, when the subject deserves to be raised", adds Dominique Versini.
"Anne Hidalgo did not call the migrants of the world to come to Paris, but the public authorities, associations and citizens to mobilize to welcome them with dignity, humanely" and she, as mayor, "took responsibility for palliating the absence of a sufficient response from the State, ”maintains the elected representative.
The head of the RN in Mayenne, Jean-Michel Cadenas, tweeted that he "completely agrees" with Rachida Dati and that "everyone will pay the consequences of this monumental error".
