France is set to undergo significant changes in its immigration policy, spearheaded by Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau.

The government plans to introduce two new immigration laws by 2025. One will align French law with the European migration pact, while the other, known as the Retailleau law, will reintroduce measures previously censored by the Constitutional Council.

Retailleau has already mobilized prefects through a detailed circular, urging them to tighten immigration controls and expedite expulsions.

The minister emphasizes the need for France to align with European standards, aiming to transform state medical aid into emergency aid to deter illegal immigration.

Additionally, Retailleau is negotiating bilateral agreements with countries like Iraq and Egypt to facilitate the return of irregular migrants.

These efforts reflect a broader strategy to regain control over immigration, with a focus on both legal and illegal aspects.
