Former French Minister Slams Macron, Predicts Shift in Immigration Trends

Former French Economy Minister Thierry Breton has made a scathing critique of President Emmanuel Macron's policies, particularly in relation to Africa. Breton asserts that Macron's actions have awakened Africans to the reality of their situation, potentially leading to a loss of French influence over its former colonies.

Breton warned that if France loses its grip on these territories, the flow of immigration could reverse, with future generations of French citizens potentially seeking opportunities in Africa. He emphasized the need for European unity in the face of this perceived threat, suggesting that countries like Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso might follow a similar path.

Breton's comments have sparked a strong reaction, with many Africans taking to social media to express their outrage and pride in their growing independence. The remarks have also raised questions about the legacy of colonialism and the ongoing relationship between France and its former African colonies.

As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Macron's administration will respond to these criticisms and whether Breton's predictions will come to pass. One thing is certain, however: the dynamics between France and Africa are shifting, and the implications will be far-reaching.
