Macron hopes to “Civilize” the French and to reduce immigration

Macron is embracing more and more “Right-wing” policies, a sign that his political stance, tediously liberal socialist, is now losing out in France, that increasingly desires identity and security.

In his interview with Le Point on Wednesday, August 23, Emmanuel Macron returned to issues he has long approached with caution, such as the recent unrest in France over the death of young Nahel, who was killed by a police officer after refusing to obey, last June. 27. The President of the Republic acknowledged that “a huge wave of violence, mimetic violence” and that a “desire for revenge” have hit the country.

The Head of State thus shared his desire to “civilize” a part of the population. “The vast majority of those arrested come from single-parent families or childcare facilities. […] What happens is that there is an unresolved relationship between a part of the youth and the authority,” he argued, referring to an “integration problem” rather than an immigration problem.

At the same time, however, with these words, the president acknowledges that his previous and current terms in office have been a failure in the relationship with young people, who have become embarassed because they do not feel that the French identity, of which many symbols have been demolished, is their own.

Significantly reducing illegal immigration.

On immigration, Emmanuel Macron said the country is not “overwhelmed.” “It is wrong to say that,” he insisted, because “the people most detached from our values are often born here.” However, he acknowledged to the magazine the need to “significantly reduce immigration,” and more specifically so-called “illegal” immigration. Words that contradict each other and contradict the facts seen in the latest banlieu riots, where there was a distinct feeling that the government had completely lost control.

Regarding the immigration bill, which will be debated this fall, the President of the Republic said he was ready to “enrich the government’s text,” particularly with the recommendations of the Republicans, in favor of tightening the text in order to avoid the use of Article 49-3 i.e., approval without parliamentary passage. However, he does not rule out the idea of using the “tools of the Constitution” and says he “does not prohibit anything.”

The French are increasingly tired of Macron and his authoritarian method of government, which imposes a strange ecological liberal-socialism to the detriment of the poorer economic strata, all by impositions of executive power. This is also seen in the polls that see a majority of the population favoring a return to the purò parliamentary system, abandoning presidentialism.

This shift in position has also a double meaning for Italy:

• immigrants streaming in from Lampedusa can no longer have easy transit to France;
• those who want presidentialism in Italy, mostly coming from the right-wing parties, must remember that the double voting turn risks displeasing the majority of the population, becoming democratically unacceptable, as it is happening in France.
