With far-right on rise, French PM vows to ‘take back control’ on migration
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench Prime Minister Edouard Philippe says France needs to “take back control” of migration, as part of a carefully controlled government push to listen to voters’ worries over growing immigration that risks playing into the hands of the far-right.
Philippe says in a speech that “it’s about sovereignty. We have to take back control of our migration policy,” but that a new approach on immigration offers a “fair balance between rights and obligations.”
He says he wants to fix quotas on certain aspects of migration, without elaborating.
