Yet another pass of arms in the “national camp”.
19 days before the first round, the candidates for the presidential election are playing their last cards to weigh in on the debate and influence voting intentions when the choice of the French people crystallizes.
24 hours after Éric Zemmour's proposal to set up a Ministry of Remigration in the event of accession to the Élysée next April - in order to expel "
one million undesirable foreigners
" over five years -, Marine Le Pen seriously reprimanded this new release from the boss of Reconquest!.

Why not us?"
Invited Tuesday evening of the program
La France dans les Yeux
on BFMTV, the nationalist contender sees in it "
a deeply unfair concept
".
“
I know very well where this concept comes from.
It's a concept that was created by someone called Jean-Yves Le Gallou
(former FN personality).
The idea he advocated was to remove French nationality from people who had already obtained it.
Either by naturalization or by virtue of the jus soli
”, first developed Marine Le Pen.
And this, “
in a global and general way.
Notwithstanding the individual behavior of each which can lead to the forfeiture of nationality which can be perfectly justified.

In difficulty in the polls for a few weeks, the exit of Éric Zemmour also has a tactical aspect in an attempt to regain a momentum lost in parallel with the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict at the end of February.
“
I have always strongly disagreed with this concept.
It seems that he has evolved with what Éric Zemmour is offering, and I don't know what the perimeter he gives him today,
points out the RN contender.
But I know what was in it when this concept was created.

"It's totally anti-republican", launches Marine Le Pen
Asked about the “racism” of this notion, Marine Le Pen kicks in touch: “
I am not sure that it has to do with race.
But it is above all totally anti-republican
.
If she had been in power, the MP for Pas-de-Calais affirms: she “
would not have given French nationality to a certain number of people who obtained it automatically
” but “
the law meant that they obtained French nationality.
“Elected, the one who is running for the third time promises that these French people will “
keep
her ”: “
I respect the rule of law.
The people who have obtained French nationality, including on criteria that I dispute, they are full-fledged French people.
In short, the contender of the RN will refuse the establishment of any ministry of remigration or even of "immigration", as was the case at the start of Nicolas Sarkozy's presidency in 2007. By preferring to pursue her policy migration via the Ministry of the Interior.
