Presidential election 2027: 'There will be no moratorium on labour immigration, which we need', says Édouard Philippe

In an interview with Le Figaro, Edouard Philippe, a candidate for the French presidency under the Horizon party, stated his opposition to a proposed three-year moratorium on legal immigration, which was introduced by his new presidential campaign ally, Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin. Philippe emphasized that there would be no moratorium on student visas or work permits for immigrants, stating that such individuals are needed in France. He acknowledged the need for a stricter migration policy but highlighted the importance of continuing to grant residency permits to foreign students and skilled workers. Philippe also mentioned his support for measures like the 'Schengen lock,' aimed at controlling migration flows, particularly after recent crises in Ceuta. The two politicians are set to meet in Tourcoing, where Darmanin will host Philippe as part of his political outreach.
