Overview

• Laurent Wauquiez, candidate for Les Républicains leadership, has proposed detaining dangerous foreigners under OQTF in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, outside mainland France.
• The plan includes making the detention a one-way process, preventing return to mainland France due to the archipelago's non-Schengen status.
• Wauquiez also calls for extending the current 90-day detention period, framing the proposal as a radical solution to address unexecuted OQTFs.
• Political figures, including Stéphane Lenormand, Manuel Valls, and Marine Le Pen, have condemned the proposal, citing disrespect for the archipelago and its residents.
• The proposal has become a focal point in the Les Républicains leadership race, as Wauquiez seeks to distinguish his stance on immigration policy.
