As soon as it hardens a notch. After announcing last October, wanting to prolong the place of placing foreigners in an irregular situation “of the most dangerous people” at 210 days, Bruno Retilleau wants to go much further.
“Initially we had planned to align the regime of all the most dangerous people in the terrorist regime that provides 210 days. I think it is necessary to go further, that is, 18 months” or 547 days, launched on Wednesday in RTL the Interior Minister.
A maximalist option
First he set at 10 days in 1993, the retention of foreigners in an irregular situation took 90 days with Collomb’s law of 2018. In his general policy speech in autumn, Michel Barnier then the prime minister, announced that he had wanted to increase his duration, without indicating a precise duration.
The table on the table was when he resumed his account. The proposal of Law LR He posed at the end of September, who wanted to take the retention time to 135 days. But the tenant of the Beauvau place had calmly indicated to want to spend 210 days.
But for Bruno Retilleau, the attack in Mulhouse on February 22, which cost a man life and wounded three municipal police, obviously changed the situation.
The alleged assailant, a 37 -year -old Algerian, had the obligation to abandon the French territory (OQTF). The suspect had been sentenced in 2023 for apologies for terrorism. After his sentence to six months in prison for the apology of terrorism, the man was released after four and a half months of detention.
“Change the rules” to “avoid holes in the racket”
In the process, he then placed in an administrative detention center (CRA) for 90 days, as the law currently established. During this period, France had tried to expel Algeria 14 times “without accepting Algeria” to take care of the suspect, the Interior Minister explained.
“If tomorrow, there is a new Mulhouse and we see that there is an Algerian with a very dangerous profile that commits a terrorist act, what will the French say?” Asked Bruno Retilleau.
“We are responsible for this,” said Bruno Retailleau. “Zero risk does not exist, in any country in the world. But every time we see that we have holes in the racket, we must change the rule,” he insisted on the former president of the senators LR.
A true political risk
However, a European directive stipulates that migrants can only be placed in retention “for a shorter possible period.” The Court of Justice of the European Union said that the maximum authorized retention period is 18 months and must be stopped “without a real perspective of distance” to the country of origin of the undocumented person.
But now it remains to vote for the extension of the duration in the retention center in Parliament. If such a measure would happen without problem in the Senate, it remains to be convinced in the National Assembly. The left would probably vote largely as part of the Renaissance.
As for its place in the parliamentary calendar, it is complete. The next niche of the Republicans, which allows the right to have your hands on the assembly agenda for a day, will take place at best until next fall.
The question of François Bayrou is completed, anxious to avoid subjects that may have exploited the common blockade. Until now, the prime minister has never talked about the subject.
