href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/politics/article/2024/09/22/barnier-government-confirms-macron-s-shift-to-the-right_6726889_5.html">Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government</a>, the French public still doesn't know whether their taxes will be raised, their public services weakened, their climate transition policy pursued or the fight against the "low-wage trap" launched. As the new government was formed after an entire summer of nothing, without the slightest discussion of substance, answers to these questions are not expected until Tuesday, October 1, in front of MPs, during the new prime minister's general policy statement. But it took Interior Minister <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/politics/article/2024/09/22/new-french-interior-minister-embodies-the-conservative-right_6726909_5.html">Bruno Retailleau</a> less than 48 hours to set out his agenda, highlighting his favorite subject: immigration.</p> <p class="article__paragraph ">"Enough is enough (...) A country is not a train station concourse," he told the conservative daily <em>Le Figaro</em> on September 24, affirming his determination to put an end to the "migratory mess." Then during a long interview on TF1's 8 pm TV news program, he presented France as "the most attractive country in Europe" and considered a new law. Less than a year after the political disaster of the immigration bill under then-interior minister Gérald Darmanin, Retailleau would clearly like to resurrect the numerous measures <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2024/01/26/french-immigration-law-constitutional-council-rejects-measures-largely-on-procedural-grounds_6466765_7.html">rejected by the Constitutional Council</a>, notably restrictions on foreigners' access to healthcare. This rush by the former head of the right-wing Les Républicains senatorial group (which introduced some of the immigration bill's most controversial measures) to present himself as the defender of a country allegedly besieged by hordes of immigrants is doubly worrying.</p> <div id="inread_top" class="dfp-slot dfp__slot dfp__inread dfp-unloaded" data-format="inread_top" aria-hidden="true"></div> <section class="catcher catcher--favoris"> <div class="catcher__content"><span class="catcher__title catcher__title--hide">Read more</span><span class="catcher__desc"> <span class="icon__premium"><span class="sr-only">Subscribers only</span></span> <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/article/2024/09/23/emmanuel-macron-has-cut-the-link-between-the-french-people-s-vote-and-the-response-given-to-them-today_6726964_23.html" class="js-article-read-also catcher--favoris__link" data-premium="1">Macron and the risk of further fueling the democratic crisis</a> </span> </div> </section> <p class="article__paragraph ">Firstly, because it highlights the democratic rift resulting from the early parliamentary elections: While two-thirds of the French people rejected the far-right Rassemblement National party and its harmful use of xenophobia in the second round, they are now faced with an interior minister who, as soon as he is appointed, is sounding the same alarm.</p> <h2 class="article__sub-title">Not the truth</h2> <p class="article__paragraph ">Secondly, because Retailleau, who seemed eager to take charge of the Interior Ministry, is not telling the truth: To claim that foreigners choose France because of its generous social protection system is to misunderstand the many reasons for exile, the erratic nature of migratory routes and the mortal risks involved. To pretend that the tough directives he has announced for prefects will change anything is to ignore the chain of reasons – notably diplomatic and linked to international commitments – that hinder the <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2024/09/25/suspect-in-student-s-murder-in-paris-park-arrested-in-switzerland_6727217_7.html">deportation of undocumented foreigners</a>.

We need only look at most developed countries to be convinced that denying this obvious reality, or reducing it to "racism," as some on the left tend to do, is not the way to combat social jealousy, the fear of being downgraded and the prejudices and lies that turn this issue into a powerful political tool. But blaming it all on immigrants as the curtain rises on a new and uncertain legislative session can only fuel the already lively flame of the Rassemblement National, validate its use of foreigners as scapegoats and pave the way for its umpteenth one-upmanship.</p> <section class="author"> <p class="author__detail"> <span class="author__name">Le Monde</span> </p> <p class="article__author-container"></p> <p class="article__mention">Translation of an original article published in French on <a href="https://lemonde.fr">lemonde.fr</a>; the publisher may only be liable for the French version.</p> </section> <section class="article__reactions"> <section id="js-paywall-comments" class="paywall__comments"> </section> <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/syndication/" class="reuse__content" title="Reuse this content" target="_blank">Reuse this content</a> </section> </article> <footer class="article__footer-single old__article-footer"> <section class="article__siblings article__siblings--iso"> <section class="article__siblings-container old__article-siblings-container"> <section id="article_recos_1"></section> <section id="article_recos_2"></section> <section id="article_recos_3"></section> </section> </section> </footer> </section> <aside class="aside__iso old__aside"> <section class="friend js-pave-haut"> <div id="pave_haut" class="dfp-slot dfp__slot friend--around dfp__sticky dfp__slot--pave dfp__slot--desktop" data-format="pave_haut" aria-hidden="true"></div> </section> <section id="forecast_widget" class="friend"></section> <section class="friend js-pave-milieu"> <div id="pave_milieu" class="dfp-slot dfp__slot friend--around dfp__sticky dfp__slot--pave dfp__slot--desktop dfp-unloaded" data-format="pave_milieu" aria-hidden="true"></div> </section> <section class="friend js-pave-bas"> <div id="pave_bas" class="dfp-slot dfp__slot friend--around dfp__sticky dfp__slot--pave dfp__slot--desktop dfp-unloaded" data-format="pave_bas" aria-hidden="true"></div> </section> </aside> <div class="lazy-bizdev" data-url="" data-position="desktopFooter" data-service=""></div> </section> </section> <section id="js-capping" class="capping" data-full="0" data-mini="0"> <section id="js-capping-wrapper" class="capping__wrapper"> <section id="js-capping-header"class="capping__header"> <span class="icon__information"></span> <p class="capping__notice">Lecture du <i>Monde</i> en cours sur un autre appareil.</p> </section> <section id="js-capping-content"class="capping__content"> <p class="capping__title">Vous pouvez lire <i>Le Monde</i> sur un seul appareil à la fois</p> <div class="capping__picture"></div> <button type="button" class="button button--lightblue capping__cta js-capping-close">Continuer à lire ici</button> <p class="capping__cta-text">Ce message s’affichera sur l’autre appareil.</p> <a href="https://moncompte.lemonde.fr" id="js-capping-yellow-button" class="button button--subscribe capping__cta capping__cta--next" data-cta="multi">Découvrir les offres multicomptes</a> </section> <section id="js-capping-bottom" class="capping__bottom"> <button type="button" id="js-capping-trigger" class="capping__trigger" data-toggle="collapse" data-toggle-target=".capping__faq">Pourquoi voyez-vous ce message ?</button> <ul id="js-capping-faq"class="capping__faq"> <li class="capping__item"> <p class="capping__answer">Parce qu’une autre personne (ou vous) est en train de lire <i>Le Monde</i> avec ce compte sur un autre appareil.</p> <p class="capping__answer">Vous ne pouvez lire <i>Le Monde</i> que sur <strong>un seul appareil</strong> à la fois (ordinateur, téléphone ou tablette).</p> </li> <li class="capping__item"> <p class="capping__question">Comment ne plus voir ce message ?</p> <p class="capping__answer">En cliquant sur « <button type="button" class="capping__link js-capping-close js-capping-close-extended">Continuer à lire ici</button> » et en vous assurant que vous êtes la seule personne à consulter <i>Le Monde</i> avec ce compte.</p> </li> <li class="capping__item"> <p class="capping__question">Que se passera-t-il si vous continuez à lire ici ?</p> <p class="capping__answer">Ce message s’affichera sur l’autre appareil.
