Ce lundi 30 septembre 2024, l’ancien ministre de l’Intérieur, Gérald Darmanin, était l’invité de France Inter. Celui qui redevenu député depuis hier, a donné un avis très tranché sur le spectre électoral français.

While Michel Barnier's government was recently appointed, the former Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, who has resumed a seat as a deputy in the hemicycle, has not failed to give his very clear opinion on several points. Invited to the France Inter morning show this Monday morning, the elected official discussed the electoral landscape in France.

Darmanin gives his positions

“To put it very quickly, the little whites vote for Le Pen, and the little Arabs vote for Mélenchon”, Gérald Darmanin said on the radio. “Many people feel discriminated against, sometimes wrongly, sometimes rightly. The house arrest that we denounced, we did not know how to correct it", he continued.

"We are very bad on discrimination and also because they [Jean-Luc Mélenchon's voters] expect us to recognize the Palestinian state and that at the same time our Jewish compatriots are waiting for the protection of the State of Israel”, explained the MP who made his political comeback in Tourcoing this Sunday.

Gérald Darmanin also commented on current political events, the decisions taken by his successor and also those of Prime Minister Barnier. "If it means reforming it, yes, but I am not in favor of eliminating State Medical Aid", he commented on the subject of Bruno Retailleau's choice.

"The Ministry of the Interior has nothing to reproach itself for. We are around 20% of OQTFs executed, and that is too little. But we are the first European country to be able to do it. In this despicable and horrible murder, the gendarmerie and the police did their job, he assured about Philippine's murder.
