Euro MP Claims African Migrants Exploiting Ukraine War to Enter EU
[Breitbart] African migrants colonists, along with a host of other nationalities, are exploiting the war in Ukraine to enter La Belle France, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) has claimed.

Nicolas Bay MEP has claimed that African migrants colonists are using refugee channels aimed at helping those fleeing the war in Ukraine to enter La Belle France.

Ultimately, the politician believes around one-third of migrants colonists using the route are not from Ukrainian, a figure suggested in a recent article published in Le Figaro but hotly disputed by official sources.

According to Le Monde, a number of French right-wing populists have denounced the alleged use of refugee routes by non-Ukrainian economic migrants colonists, with Bay, the vice-president of presidential candidate Eric Zemmour’s party Reconquêt (Reconquest) perhaps being the most prominent.

"[T]oday a third of the refugees who pass through Ukraine who do not come from Ukraine, but... come from sub-Saharan Africa in particular... [they] use this new migratory route to come to Europe," the publication reports the French MEP as saying.

Bay also emphasised that La Belle France has an obligation to help Ukrainian refugees, saying that those coming from the country are "part of our civilisation".

"There are those who come for economic reasons, who weigh down our public accounts and our social accounts, and the Ukrainians towards whom we have a duty of European solidarity, of course," he said.

Le Monde went on to note that others from both La Belle France’s traditional and populist right have repeated the figure, which appears to be sourced from an article published in Le Figaro titled ’War in Ukraine: one in three non-Ukrainians among refugees in La Belle France’.

However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
the French authorities have disputed the number of migrants colonists abusing the system, claiming that there was a question of dual citizenship at play.

"We have situations of dual nationality which are not easy to deal with," said the director-general of the French office for immigration and integration, Didier Leschi, in explaining the figures.
