Overview

• François‑Xavier Bellamy asserted a direct link between immigration and delinquency, citing figures that foreigners are 8% of the population but account for 31% of violent thefts, 38% of burglaries and, in Île‑de‑France, 63% of transport assaults.
• He called for a crackdown on irregular immigration, describing it as the root of ongoing violations of French laws and borders.
• He proposed reforming the Constitution to allow referendums on migration policy after the Constitutional Council blocked an LR‑backed vote on the issue.
• He argued that France must rebuild its justice system, reinforce its borders and strengthen schools to counter what he described as a longstanding climate of violence.
• He referenced the Nice Moulins district shooting that left at least two dead and five wounded, reported receiving threats from protesters, and attacked left‑wing budget plans while rejecting new taxes.
