Macron called for better control of borders at the national and European level. He said changes should be brought to the Schengen Area, even if it led to a reduction of its scope or to fewer member states.
“To be open, you need limits; to welcome someone, you need a house, so you need borders.”
On ‘political Islam’
Macron said he would be “uncompromising” in his approach to what he defined as a “political Islam” within France that sought to break with the rest of the country.
“Nowadays when we talk about secularism, ... we’re talking about the clannishness that has crept into some neighbourhoods in our republic...we’re talking about the people who, in the name of religion, are pursuing a political project that wants to secede from our republic.”
Macron said he would push to more strictly control the overseas financing for some organisations.
