His promise to use “all tools” to stop them migration has raised significant criticism in its first week as interior minister of France. Bruno Retailleau He is a leading figure in French conservative politics, especially within the party Republicans.

Although the new government Emmanuel Macron has not announced a road map (the head of government is expected to do so on October 1), the new Minister of the Interior has already given some instructions on how to face this new challenge: “delaying” to the “immigration disease”, and made France “the most attractive country Europa“. “I have three joys: return them beginningrestore order, restore order. I believe in order as a condition freedom. When he is not there, freedom is in danger,” he said as soon as he entered the ministry headquarters.

To this end, as he explained in an interview for the public channel TF1, he is already preparing a law that, among other things, helps health care to irregular migrants. The new minister takes less than 48 hours in the office to address the topics he likes the most, the immigration. After doing so, the discipline begins. “It’s stupid. Viruses don’t look at people’s books,” criticized the rebels Mathilde Panotabout the dangers of this amendment for those health of all the French.

Retailleau has clear goals. Some ideas correspond to those of many French people who are with the increase in insecurity in France and problems with illegal immigration. “My conviction is clear: Immigration, when it is not controlled, is not an opportunity for anyone; neither for France, nor for the immigrants. The real problem is the number. “Too many,” he said in his first interview Le Figaro. “Last year, if we count the first residence permits and those asylum seekersFrance received 470,000 stranger additional costs, equivalent of the city of Toulouse, not counting illegal entries”.

Not only migration, Retailleau has protected the importance of family life tradition, as it has also harshly criticized euthanasia and the abortionconditions that match it Catholicismbut they are far from the modern ideas of the President, who give months of working for the “end of life law”, which allows people with terminal or chronic diseases to decide about their end.

Anchored in the most conservative right

Retaileau is one of the heavyweights of Republicans (LR, right) in the Senate since 2014, and for years has attacked important proposals presented by macronism. Your signature creates doubts among some but hope among others. “I don’t know. Maybe this conservative, old-school right-wing dinosaur is what France needs,” Anne, a resident of Grenoble, told EL PERIÓDICO She claims to be tired of insecurity in the region and admit that you have thoughts about moving after the last one change in the city.

Retailleau is not a new figure on the political scene. For years it has been in the eye of the storm. In 2016, he was the campaign director for Francois Fillon in the government primaries of Los Republicanos, and in 2022, it has been proposed within the party as one of the ideal candidates to run for office. presidential electionbut in the end he didn’t run and wanted to give his support to it Valerie Pécressewho is the candidate of the party.

Some believe that the conservative profile is not compatible with the modern political atmosphere that President Macron has sold all these years. Although it fits with the new air he wants to give to French politics Michel Barnier. “Less communication and more work,” he said once he took office as prime minister.

Now, his conservative profile has caused a stir among the former leader of government. The former president Gabriel Attal has asked Barnier to respect the rights of womanin reference to abortion, and community rights LGTBIQ+.

The Philippine massacre, his first controversy

On September 20, Philippine, a 19-year-old high school student, did not return home after a party. After his parents reported his disappearance and after several hours of searching, his body was found half-buried in the forest of Boulogne (Paris) with signs of asphyxiation.

A couple of days later, the police Switzerland arrested his killer in Geneva. A 22-year-old man from Morocco, who has already committed another rape when he was small and, after several years in prison and the order that he removed, the process between France and Morocco was suspended and, at that time, he killed the Philippine.

Once again, this event has set the streets of France on fire, causing controversy over the Immigration control and tightening of the law, with the order of release that extends over time. Debate that fell on the shoulders of the new Minister of the Interior, who promised to put an end to all these events.

“In such a way disasterthat many others have preceded, we cannot just ignore it or be angry. It is up to us, public officials, to build our destiny and develop our legal weapon to defend France,” Retailleau said in a statement.
