Gérald Darmanin: "In six months, we expelled the 1100 most dangerous foreign people"

Journal du Dimanche

When we take stock of the objective of the five years of the President of the Republic, we will see that there has been a drop in burglaries, a drop in car thefts, a drop in thefts with violence, and I think that is thanks to the 10,000 additional police officers put in place by Emmanuel Macron,

The President of the Republic asked me this summer to draw up a list of 1,100 foreigners who are either criminals or supporters of rigorous or Islamist Islam. We kicked them all out. In six months, we expelled the 1100 most dangerous foreigners. Nobody ever talks about it because we do it, and we do it well. The 700 foreigners who were registered who were in the FSPRT

that is to say S files were expelled.

We focus on problem strangers.

And we say in the majority that we judge foreigners for what they are and not for what they do

There is also a difficulty that all European countries know: to send back someone who came irregularly from Afghanistan, would you accept that I expel Afghans directly into a dictatorial regime called the Taliban?

You would tell me that I am inhuman, and you would be right

that instructions be given to refuse French nationality, that 'one is known or not known, to someone who holds a rigorous Islam

This is not good proof of assimilation into French society,
