Four years ago, Gérard Collomb withdrew from the Ministry of the Interior with a crash by pronouncing what was akin to a prophecy: “We live side by side. Me, I fear that tomorrow, we live Face to face. “Since then, the right and the extreme right have exploited these words to the envy to denounce uncontrolled migratory flows. On November 11, Gérard COLLOMB gained the floor on Twitter , then in an interview with point, to be alarmed by a “turning point” in migration policy: the care of 234 passengers of the Ocean -Viking, in Toulon, after three weeks of wandering, would put the country in danger. And the latter to reconnect with his dark omens. “If we welcome one, the others we do not welcome them?” Insists the former mayor of Lyon to the world. It’s untenable.
