In the early days of the conflict on Europe's borders, the reception of Ukrainian refugees highlighted the divisions in the nationalist camp.
Éric Zemmour was notably very reserved on this question, before operating a
mea culpa
during his meeting in Toulon (Var) on Sunday March 6, considering that, if Ukrainians
"prefer to come to France, because they have ties, because they have family there, because they are French-speaking, so we have to take them in until the bombing stops
".

This Toulon meeting was also an opportunity for Marion Maréchal to formalize her rallying to Éric Zemmour.
This Sunday, on the set of the RTL- Le Figaro
-LCI Grand Jury
this Sunday, the former FN deputy from Vaucluse herself returned to the question of the reception of Ukrainian refugees, citing the revelations of
Le Figaro
on the presence a third of migrants of other nationalities among the refugees arriving on French territory.

"
If some Ukrainians wish to come to France, they can of course do so, with a very important point of vigilance
", specifies the director of ISSEP, because "
nearly a third of the so-called Ukrainian refugees who arrive in France are actually not Ukrainians
”.
According to her, if they are “
Algerians or Moroccans
”, they have “
a vocation to go to these countries
” of which they are nationals, because they “
are not real war refugees
”.
"A tendency to discard on Europe"
For Marion Maréchal, “
the opening of this migratory corridor encourages people who wish to enter the Schengen area and who are from Africa
” to take advantage of the opportunity to “
integrate into this system
”.
The vigilance that she advocates would also, according to her, meet the wish of a majority of French people.
"
This is the sorting that the French want since they want to welcome Ukrainian refugees
" and not migrants of other nationalities.
The former MP also agrees with her candidate's more general position on the reception of refugees in the event of armed conflict, believing that "
the principle is that solidarity with regard to war refugees should
“, deploring a”
tendency to discard on Europe and in particular on France
“.

Marion Maréchal also draws a parallel between the war in Ukraine and the situation caused by the war in Syria.
According to her, there was at the time a “
major risk of infiltration by Islamist terrorists among these Syrian refugees
”.
However, the situation is not the same today, because this risk would not be relevant with Ukrainian migrants.
Faced with the recent reversal of the mayor of Béziers, Robert Ménard, support of Marine Le Pen in the presidential election, the niece of the RN candidate believes that he should go "
say that to the dead and maimed for life, victims of the Bataclan
“, because she believes that”
it is because there has been a real laxity in the reception of these Syrian refugees or pseudo-refugees that we have come to this situation and the tragedy that has struck France
”.
