Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin once again reached out to LR, whose support is crucial for the adoption in parliament of his immigration bill, saying he was ready to discuss "
quotas to limit regularizations
" on Saturday. .
“
I know that there are also criticisms on the part work of the text.
Let's talk about it !
Among the LR, some defend the idea of establishing quotas to limit regularizations.
Let's discuss it.
We are open to all discussions within the framework of the parliamentary debate
, ”he said in a long interview with Le Parisien.
The immigration bill defended by Gérald Darmanin, which is to be presented to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, arrives in full mobilization against pensions and should in all likelihood come up against the intransigence of the party led by MP Éric Ciotti.
Supporter of a hard line on this highly inflammable subject, he castigates the government text by brandishing in particular the specter of massive regularizations on one of the key provisions of the text, residence permits for trades in tension.
'Unfounded fear'
“
This fear is unfounded
”, tried to demine Minister Darmanin by explaining that “
to benefit from this title, it takes three years of life on the national territory.
This only concerns the trades in tension.
It is only valid for one year, which does not give rise to the right to family reunification
”.
“
If Mr. Ciotti and Mr. (Bruno) Retailleau (the boss of the LR senators) want to modify what we are proposing to be absolutely sure that there is no massive regularization, we will obviously discuss it
”, a-t he put forward.
