Former French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has proposed a bold plan to cut legal immigration in half, aiming to bring annual arrivals below the 200,000 threshold seen prior to 2010. Citing pressure on public services and failing integration systems, he suggests a five-year moratorium on family reunification. While acknowledging European human rights obligations, he intends to negotiate additional protocols to tighten these rules. Beyond migration, Philippe unveiled a social policy reform, which includes a new family allowance of 350 euros starting from the first child and significant annual tax reductions for middle-class families during the three years following a birth.
