Overview
- Philippe detailed Tuesday a platform built on selected work visas and tighter family reunification as he steps up his 2027 bid.
- He said he would press for a new reading of Article 8 of the European rights convention, which protects private and family life, to limit court blocks on removals and family claims.
- He added that France could change its Constitution to lock in how it interprets Article 8 in national law.
- He called for normal ties with Algeria to restart the readmission of its nationals and said France must show more power to make expulsion orders, known as OQTFs, stick.
- An Odoxa‑Mascaret poll published Tuesday put him as a strong bet for the second round and suggested he could beat Jordan Bardella, signaling the migration push is central to his strategy.
