PARIS: With an eye on re-election, France's Emmanuel Macron has signalled a tougher line on immigration, arguing that the government must end its"lax" approach to prevent voters from drifting to the far right.
"The bourgeois have no problem with this . They don't come up against it. The working classes live with it. For decades the left didn't want to deal with this problem so the working class migrated to the far right." During the 2017 presidential campaign, Macron was fulsome in his praise of the welcome extended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel to over a million Syrian refugees, crediting her and the German people with having"saved our collective dignity."
