The new Minister of the Interior assured him, “Immigration is not an opportunity, neither for migrants who cannot be decently welcomed, nor for the French.” In 2005, during a UMP convention on the subject, Nicolas Sarkozy assured that “immigration is an opportunity for our country”. Invited this Monday by La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews, the former President of the Republic returned to the subject.
“We can no longer ignore our neighborhood with Africa”
At the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk, he indicated that “immigration is a problem. Do you realize that the two most populated cities in the world today, Beijing and Mexico City, have between 28 million and 30 million inhabitants. In 30 years, Lagos, which is not even the capital of Nigeria, will have 40 million inhabitants.
The former President of the Republic continued by explaining that “Nigeria, on its own in 30 years, will have more inhabitants than the United States of America. So the question is not to jump on your chair and say as a gift, ‘it’s an opportunity’ We can no longer ignore our neighborhood with Africa. We must together take measures to allow African populations to remain, for the most part, on the soil of the countries which are the ones. their.”
