He threw a stone in the pond.
And that's an understatement to say that it made a splash.
Invited Sunday noon to the "Grand Jury" RTL-LCI-Le Figaro, Arnaud Montebourg proposed to temporarily block private money transfers - via Western Union - to countries which
"refuse to take back"
their illegal immigrants present on French territory .
The proposal created a stir on the left of the political spectrum, starting with its competitor in the race for the Élysée, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
"Montebourg, it would be a cruel mistake to prohibit the transfer of wages to the family in the country of origin in the name of the bad actions of the governments"
, he judged on Twitter.
To discover
Presidential 2022: where are the candidates in the polls?
"The rantanplan of zemmourism"
“Acknowledge the mistake. There is enough anxiety like that. Do not pass on this murky ground ”
, asked the candidate of La France Insoumise.
"Singer the abject and stupid ideas of the far right in the hope of being noticed.
Vain and noxious posture, which fuels the race for the worst.
Does Montebourg have nothing better to do than play the rantanplan of zemmourism? "
, also mocked the LFI deputy Bastien Lachaud.
Finalist of the primary of the ecologists, Sandrine Rousseau, she wanted to be ironic:
"Arnaud come back with us
(on the left, Editor's note)
!" On the left, leaving the studio ”
.
"When La Remontada is done on the right, really on the right",
lamented the deputy Matthieu Orphelin, spokesperson for the environmental candidate Yannick Jadot for the presidential election, in reference to the slogan of the former minister.
Unexpected support, on the other hand, "defended" the candidate of the Remontada: Eric Zemmour.
“Out of ideas, Arnaud Montebourg watched the videos from my YouTube channel in replay.
Bravo Arnaud ”
, he congratulated him.
In one of his videos facing the camera, the not-yet-presidential candidate also proposed to
“block the transfers of funds from immigrant workers
”.
He saw it as
"a means of pressure to force countries to take back their immigrants."
