Migration question: the unspoken issue of Macron’s visit to Rabat

Although it is not officially mentioned, the migration issue will undoubtedly be at the heart of Emmanuel Macron’s two-day state visit to Morocco. The French president is expected this Monday afternoon in Rabat.

The Élysée did not mention this very important subject in its presentation of the issues of Macron’s state visit to Rabat. But the question will certainly be on the menu of discussions between the French president and the Moroccan authorities. “The habit is to present to the authorities in Rabat lists with several hundred names of Moroccan nationals undesirable in France. After several days, the answer came back to us, with a green light on a few files. For a few weeks, the relationship is fluid and then tightens depending on the vagaries of the bilateral relationship,” confides a former member of the Darmanin teams to The Opinion.
