France: An outrage at the murder of 19-year-old Filipin – A 22-year-old Moroccan Arrested Who “should have been deported”

La race… Rage and political effervescence prevails in , after a 19-year-old student from a young Moroccan who was under an obligation to be expelled from France. France’s far-right National Alert took advantage of the arrest of the Moroccan suspect for the murder of the student in Paris, to push the new government towards adopting a tougher attitude towards immigration and security issues. A few hours after the statements of the head of the National Alert Zoran Bardela who referred to the public outrage caused by the murder, the new French Interior Minister announced that the government is ready to change the relevant laws if necessary. Three days after Filipin’s body was discovered, a Paris-Dauphin student, was arrested yesterday (24.09.2024) in Switzerland 22-year-old Moroccan suspect, convicted of rape in the past, belonging to the category OQTF (Required to leave French territory). The National Alarm acquired the role of regulator promising on a case-by-case basis parliamentary support for the new centre-right government. This support will be lifted, according to the warnings of the leadership of the NU if the demands of the far-right party regarding immigration, security and other issues are not met. “The time has come for this government to take action: our compatriots are angry and will not only be satisfied with words,” Zordan Bardella warned last night accusing the French state of having too gentle a stance on the issue of public security. “Philipine’s life was stolen by a Moroccan immigrant designated OQTF,” he wrote in H. According to the French media, the 22-year-old suspect arrested last night in Switzerland should have been deported from France after serving a sentence for rape. Le corps de Philippine, 19 ans, a été retrouvé au Bois de Boulogne lors d’une battue. Disparue depuis vendredi, un suspect aurait été aperçu à proximité. Une enquête pour homicide volontaire est ouverte. @thomas_suteau — M6 Info (@m6info) “Let’s change them” This morning, Brynno Retoyo stated: “If we have to change the rules, let’s change them”. “In the face of such tragedy, many others have preceded, we cannot simply condemn or be shocked. It is up to us public officials to update our legislation, to protect the French.” Brynno Retoyo, who comes from the Les Republicains party and is considered a radical of the right, has already marched on receiving his duties on the possibility of introducing tougher immigration and security measures. Green MP Sandrin Russo warned that the French far-right exploits the murder “to spread racist hatred”. According to the French prosecutors, the suspect was illegally on French territory. He had been convicted in October 2021 of rape committed in 2019, when he was a minor. He was released at the end of his sentence in June 2024. According to a police source, the arrester was released from prison on June 20 and placed at the administrative detention centre in Mets (eastern France). On September 3, a judge upheld his exit from the detention center and imposed an obligation to appear at a police station. On 4 September Morocco sent the French authorities a deportation permit. On the eve of Filipin’s murder, on September 19, the suspect was listed as wanted persons for failing to comply with the police station obligation. The rate of implementation of the removal measures from the French territory (OQTF) in France is the lowest in the European Union: it is 7%, compared with 30% at EU level. “Overly many OQTFs are decided by the authorities: we see a proliferation of removal measures against individuals we know from the outset that they cannot return to the country of origin or transition,” says Marie-Laure Basilien-Gainche, Professor of Public Law at the University of Lyon.
