French Prime Minister François Bayrou is a centrist ally of the nation’s globalist President Emmanuel Macron, so for him to criticize France’s disastrous immigration policies is a slap in Macron’s face — or an attempt to co-opt Macron’s opposition and take away its central issue. Either way, Bayrou is right: open-door migration makes for an influx that is both a flood and a dangerous invasion.
Bayrou’s leftist peers now see him as using “a term long promoted by the far right to stoke fear,” and yet he’s telling the truth. Indeed, his motive may well be politicking for electoral advantage, but nonetheless, border security should not be a partisan issue, although leftist politicians and their media cronies do all they can to make it out to be just that. Open-door migration policies are reckless and ruinous to the rule of law and detrimental to the future of the West. It is the Communist stratagem to destroy Western free societies.
“French PM Bayrou sparks outrage with far-right rhetoric on migrant ‘flood,’” by Romain Brunet, France 24, January 29, 2025:
Interviewed by LCI television news late on Monday, French Prime Minister François Bayrou said immigration rates in France are creating a sense of being “flooded”, using a term long promoted by the far right to stoke fear.
“Foreign contributions are a positive for a people, so long as they remain proportionate,” said Bayrou. “But as soon as you get the feeling of being flooded, of no longer recognising your own country, its lifestyle and its culture, there is a rejection,” he said, adding that “we are approaching” this threshold.
“Some cities and regions” are already experiencing it, he said.
The remarks were clearly an effort by the prime minister to pander to the anti-immigration far-right National Rally (RN) party, which holds the prime minister’s political destiny in its hands. Bayrou needs broad support – from the far right as well as the centre-left Socialist Party – if he is to avoid the fate of his predecessor Michel Barnier, who was forced to step down in December.
The flare-up couldn’t have come at a worse time. Bayrou is to present a long-overdue 2025 budget bill in February, and he is hoping to avoid the same type of no-confidence vote that forced out Barnier over a budget impasse.
The prime minister’s remarks provoked an immediate reaction from the left, with Socialist deputy Arthur Delaporte saying they were rooted in “xenophobia”….

He should point to the words of the mozlums….hamas mozlums….in what they called their demonic attack in Oct, 23…to wit, a “flood.”
He is not wrong and hopefully, he can stand his ground. mozlums are attempting….and being successful…to flood every nation in order to take over control of the world.
Hoi Polloi says
Exactly right; they have referred to the attack as a flood, but anything is ok when they do it. Especially if they’re slaughtering people, as the left always loves slaughter.

Thank you, HP.
Yes, pure hypocrisy. Just as they praise their fake prophet for his rape of a child, his thieving, his raids, mass-murder, etc., but infidels are not supposed to say such things about that scum.
Hence, their anger at the use of the word “flood.”

The left everywhere is trying to get it’s own citizens killed and the question is how much can we take before we reach the tipping point or when we bend the knee and surrender?
James Lincoln says
So, in today’s France, it is “far-right” to oppose suicidal muslim migration.
somehistory says
James, those opposed to opposing the suicide can’t tell the difference between ‘right’ and wrong. It’s good to be “right,”…especially really, really, “right.”
But the opposers use the word “right” as an insult.
James Lincoln says
Yes, somehistory.
Today’s so-called “far right” are really yesterday’s “centrists”.
