Gerald Darmanin at Matignon: “Without me”

The operation consists in the destruction of slums and the expulsion of irregular migrants, mainly from the Comoros. But “his beginnings are difficult,” justifies a close friend of the minister. At the same time, part of the majority opposed his arrival in Matignon. “It will work without me,” said one minister.

>>Mayotte: Where is the government’s Wuambushu operation against illegal immigration?

Not only does the minister have friends, but Gérald Darmanin only has hot topics on his desk that are dealt with evenly. The immigration law and the negotiations going on with Les Républicains. The vote is uncertain. “He’s locked up, he’ll try to blame that.” [Elisabeth] “Borne”, predicts a minister, without forgetting the organization of the Olympic Games. “It is certain that if he overcomes all these obstacles, he will become very important,” says one MP. Keeping an eye on Matignon but positioning for 2027.

Prigozhin’s Wagner militia led the capture of the Ukrainian town of Bakhmut last month, and for months he has openly accused Shoigu and Gerasimov of incompetence, accusing them of withholding ammunition and support from the Wagner group.
