In a high-profile debate on BFMTV, Marion Maréchal, the conservative candidate for the Reconquest Party in the European Union elections, engaged in a heated exchange with leftist Mathilde Panot, President of the La France Insoumise group in the National Assembly. Maréchal’s remarks focused on her concerns about illegal immigration, lack of integration, and national security, highlighting her perspective on these critical issues facing France.
Maréchal asserted, “I don’t want a civil war in my country. I want civil peace. I have children, and I know the first who will pay are… And so to avoid, of course, civil war, we must tackle the cause.” She linked the rising insecurity in France to uncontrolled immigration, stating, “This civil peace is threatened precisely by uncontrolled immigration… Behind this rise of insecurity, there is, whether you like it or not, yes, a clash of civilizations is taking place in our country.”
Expanding on her views, Maréchal explained that a growing percentage of French Muslims are attempting to impose an Islamic civilization on French soil, actions that are in direct conflict with French Republican values. She provided specific examples to underscore this perceived clash: the right to wear the veil and abaya at school, the introduction of religious menus in school cafeterias, and the granting of exemptions to young girls from attending school swimming pools.
Maréchal pointed to these instances as signs of challenging France’s secular traditions. Most notably, she highlighted a disturbing statistic that nearly 30% of young Muslims in French high schools do not entirely condemn the assassination of Dominique Bernard, a teacher killed by a Muslim terrorist. Maréchal posed the question: “Isn’t that a clash of civilizations? Do you think there is any possible coexistence with young people who today make excuses for the assassination of a teacher who had just interposed himself between some students and an Islamist?”
In a particularly emphatic segment of the debate, Marion Maréchal underscored the urgent need for stricter immigration controls, linking it directly to the safety of the French populace. She articulated this concern by stating, ‘I wish we could control the people who are coming to our country today,’ expressing frustration at the current immigration policies.
To substantiate her argument, Maréchal cited three recent and alarming cases, painting a grim picture of the safety concerns she associates with uncontrolled immigration. The first case involved a 65-year-old woman in Les Yvelines, who, recovering from lung cancer surgery, was kidnapped and raped by an Ivorian illegal immigrant, despite being under an obligation to leave France since 2016. The second instance was in Avignon, where a 14-year-old girl was raped in a squat by an illegal immigrant, the same individual who had previously attempted to rape a 23-year-old woman. The third case from Nice involved an illegal immigrant accused of raping a prostitute.
Maréchal used these harrowing incidents to challenge her opponent, Mathilde Panot, and the broader left-wing stance on immigration. She accused them of ignoring the real-world consequences of lax immigration policies on the safety and security of French citizens, particularly women. She highlighted the criminal negligence towards the rising tide of crimes associated with illegal immigration.
Concluding this segment, Maréchal stated, ‘France is no longer capable of welcoming new people and can no longer face the challenges of integration.’ Maréchal stressed that France has reached a breaking point due to a myriad of safety, identity, cultural, and social reasons and can no longer sustain the influx of new immigrants without jeopardizing its national integrity and security.
In understanding the depth of Marion Maréchal’s political convictions, it’s essential to recognize her political lineage and affiliations. Known formerly as Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, she is the niece of Marine Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National, and granddaughter of National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen. Her significant legacy in French politics, along with her enduring involvement in the conservative political arena, underscores a deep-rooted commitment to her political ideals and a profound love for France.
Maréchal’s alignment with Éric Zemmour’s party, Reconquête!, marks a significant moment in French politics, especially as they prepare for the 2024 European elections. Zemmour, an influential figure in French politics known for his hardline stance on immigration and national identity, has placed Maréchal at the forefront of his party’s campaign. “We are going to make the European elections on 9 June 2024 a referendum on immigration,” Zemmour declared in an interview with Le Figaro.
Maréchal has expressed that the 2024 election represents “a historic opportunity” to shift the European Union’s direction. Her campaign is set to focus on defending “our civilization” against what she perceives as threats from immigration, Islamisation, and ‘wokism.’ This stance resonates with her belief in preserving French identity, culture, and values.
Furthermore, Maréchal’s campaign echoes Zemmour’s sentiment that immigration is “the challenge of the century for France and Europe.” This viewpoint aligns them with the European Conservative and Reformist group, a eurosceptic coalition that shares their views on nationalism, identity, and economic freedoms. The potential collaboration with the ECR, chaired by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, signifies a strengthening of right-wing, nationalist forces within Europe.
This political context provides a backdrop to Maréchal’s fierce debate with Mathilde Panot, illustrating a clash of opinions and a broader ideological battle shaping the future of France and Europe. As the Rassemblement National continues to hold significant influence and the Les Républicains potentially face new competition, Maréchal’s role and voice are pivotal in this evolving political landscape.
Once the invading heathen breed to a majority every Western nation is toast. Outright banning from countries, and summary deportation is what is really needed! If lefties whine and complain, deport them with the islamo heathen! I’m sure they will be flying off rooftops as most are disgusting perverts, sodomites, and pedosatanists!
