French PM Calls for National Debate on Definition of Being French
ai generated text
French politician François Bayrou has called for a national debate on immigration and the definition of French citizenship. This comes in response to Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin's proposal to modify the Constitution to eliminate the automatic granting of citizenship to individuals born and raised in France. Bayrou views the issue as having been a longstanding concern and believes that a comprehensive discussion is necessary to address it.

It's obvious that this question has been fermenting for years.
What rights does it give you? What duties does it demand of you? What advantages do you get? What do you commit to when you become a member of a national community?
Today I would be in favour of French people deciding on this question during the 2027 presidential election, or in a referendum.
He has fallen into the double trap of considering Mayotte as a laboratory, and of mixing up immigration policies and 'national identity'.
Francois Bayrou himself has added to the confusion by referring to the archipelago (Mayotte) when raising the question of migration in general.
