According to the precepts of his former mentor, Nicolas Sarkozy, Gérald Darmanin is preparing his political back to school by applying the Carpet Bombing – literally, “the bombs”. Or, in marketing, the massive dissemination of advertising messages. Two days before the first Council of Ministers, scheduled for Wednesday, August 24, the Minister of the Interior and Overseas multiplies martial declarations and shock announcements in terms of irregular immigration. De Mayotte, where he has been since Sunday morning, he proposed the implementation, in the overseas territories-and “singularly in Mayotte”-, “recovery places” for young delinquents, which would be supervised by soldiers.
“The police and the gendarmes that I decorated today evoked minors of 12, 11, 10, who had machetes, axes, and attacked the police and the gendarmes”, he Declared Monday evening in front of the press, after a day of visits on this island of the Indian Ocean, wedged between East Africa and Madagascar. “Today, the magistrates, and it is quite normal, release them, since we do not put children in prison (which is the school of vice when we have that age), but it is necessary, however Offer a place of sanction and education, I was going to say rehabilitation, “he continued.
m. Darmanin recalled that it was a campaign promise by Emmanuel Macron who, he seemed to regret, had “not been discussed much”. “Places supervised by miliaries, which are places of rehabilitation, recovery of some of the children, very young adolescents, who do not have parents, or so little. We have seen a little at the Meeting, we see it a lot here in Mayotte. “” We must set up this promise of the President of the Republic, “he said. The Keeper of the Seals, Eric Dupond-Moretti, has just announced the creation of a closed educational center in Mayotte, which Mr. Darmanin welcomed. The Minister of the Interior said he had spoke with the head of state on the phone on Monday morning on this subject and added that he would make proposals “next week”, on the occasion of a meeting -You at the Elysée.
“give justice the means to act”
During the presidential campaign, Emmanuel Macron had indeed wished “the possibility of supervision by soldiers” for delinquent minors. During his debate against Marine Le Pen, between the two towers of the ballot, he had approached two possibilities for “small offenders”: “either retention in a military environment, or general work under control”. “We must give justice the means to act,” he had launched.
The Minister of the Interior also asked the Director General of the National Police “to study the possibility of using intermediate weapons”, as those which were during riots in Mayotte, during scuffles Combining minors. He said again: “Obviously, when we apprehend minors, even extremely violent, there is not the possibility of shooting real bullets, as one would when we are attacked by adult people.”
Sunday, arriving in Mayotte, Gérald Darmanin, who has been carrying out an offensive on the theme of immigration since the beginning of the summer, also suggested to further harden the attribution of French nationality to children born on The island, plagued by a strong migratory pressure from neighboring Comoros. He wishes to “suspend the law of the soil as there is in Mayotte”. Since 2018, a child born to foreign parents on the island can only acquire French nationality if one of his parents has resided on the territory on a regular and uninterrupted manner for more than three months before his birth. This period must go to “a year”, wished Mr. Darmanin. This sprain in soil law, which makes this French department an exception, had aroused vivid debates in the National Assembly in July 2018, including in the majority.
