Immigration: un leader de la droite française veut mettre l'Espagne "au ban des nations européennes"
Bruno Retailleau, candidate of the right-wing Les Républicains party in the 2027 French presidential election, wants to "ostracize" Spain under Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez from European nations, after the latter announced the mass regularization of nearly half a million undocumented immigrants to support the country's economy.
In contrast to the hardening of migration policies observed in much of Europe, Spain launched a vast plan a week ago to regularize undocumented immigrants.
"We cannot support the mass regularization such as Mr. Sanchez is doing," said the head of the Republicans - a conservative party founded by former president Nicolas Sarkozy - on the news channel LCI, who fears that immigrants who obtain papers in Spain will then cross the border to reach France.
Considering the decision of the Spanish centre-left government "contrary to the European spirit", he promised to "reinstate border controls", assuring that France was authorized to adopt this kind of measure in the event of a "crisis".
"I would put (Spain) out of the European nations' sphere of influence," added the former Interior Minister.
To impose this measure, Bruno Retailleau is counting on European countries that are "mostly" led by the right. "Fortunately, Europe has changed today," he said.
Spain is one of the three main entry points for immigration into Europe, along with Italy and Greece, mostly via its Canary Islands archipelago, northwest of Africa.
