France to deport foreign rioters

Interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy has ordered the expulsion of all foreigners convicted of taking part in the riots that have swept France for 13 nights.

He told parliament 120 foreigners had been found guilty of involvement and would be deported without delay.

Police said overnight violence had fallen significantly - although trouble still flared in more than 100 towns.

The government has declared a state of emergency in Paris and more than 30 other areas to help quell the unrest.

The northern city of Amiens was the first to impose an overnight curfew under the new powers, which came into force at midnight.

Mr Sarkozy told MPs that non-French nationals - "not all of whom are here illegally" - had been convicted of taking part in the attacks.

"I have asked the prefects to deport them from our national territory without delay, including those who have a residency visa," he said.

1) Good for France (and Europe)!

2) What took them so long?

3) What about the thousands more that are still in Paris? Which leads to...

4) Europe is still in big trouble.

PARIS

French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen claimed Wednesday his National Front party has been "submerged" with prospective members and supportive e-mail since rioting erupted in heavily immigrant communities near Paris.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Le Pen described the recent violence as "just the start" of conflicts caused by "massive immigration from countries of the Third World that is threatening not just France but the whole continent."

Le Pen said people with immigrant backgrounds who commit crimes should be stripped of their French nationality and sent "back to their country of origin."

Reminded that the vast majority of youths taking part in the arson and rioting are French, born in France to immigrant parents, he said: "What does that mean? Are they French because they have a French identity card?"

French nationality should be given only to those who ask for it and "who are worthy of it," he said. "Those who got nationality automatically, who don't consider themselves French and who even say publicly that they consider France their enemy should not be treated as French."

Le Pen said he is convinced that what he described as a surge in support for his "zero immigration" platform would translate into votes at the ballot box for his National Front party.

French voters "are saying to themselves 'Le Pen was right. We were told that Le Pen is an extremist because he said that immigration problems would lead to disorder. The facts have shown that he was right,'" he said.

"We are receiving thousands of new members, tens of thousands of e- mails. All of our offices are submerged, we don't know how to respond because we don't have the staff to reply to the wave of people who, 95 percent of them, salute and approve our positions," he added.

Le Pen gave no specifics on the number of new members, but the party's top official for new memberships said the figure was closer to 1,000 and that they were requests to join.

Le Pen stunned many in France and shocked Europe by making it through to the second round of the last presidential elections in 2002. But he was soundly defeated in a runoff against President Jacques Chirac.

Le Pen said he is "more than ever" determined to run again in 2007.

"If there were presidential elections now, my chances would be increased tenfold," he said.

Although I don't think it'll succeed in getting rid of the most dangerous element that is undoubtably already in France to stay, I hope he wins. A hardline approach to this malarkey is what's called for.

Ordinarily, no. But these are not ordinary times. I think he'll have to tread lightly in any area regarding religion or race due to all the light that's being shed on France lately. France needs a man who's known to be willing to take a stand against violent outbreaks and not accept any garbage from terrorists. He's demonstrated (at least in my mind) the former...I'm hoping for the latter as well.

When the Reichstag burned, the NSDAP took action against "terrorism" too.

I think your suggestion is pretty far-fetched.

Fourth night of fires in Belgium

Thursday, November 10, 2005 Posted: 1438 GMT (2238 HKT)

BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) -- Youths set fire to 15 vehicles across Belgium in a fourth night of attacks that authorities said looked like imitations of violence in France, leading the far right to call for the expulsion of the perpetrators.

Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt told Reuters in Singapore the burning of cars in Belgian cities were "isolated incidents" and said they was not comparable to the riots in France, which he described as a "very serious, serious situation."

The arson attacks late on Wednesday have not sparked worse violence across Belgium, which like France has big Muslim and African immigrant populations.

"Burnt-out cars are rare in Belgium," a spokesman for a government crisis center said on Thursday. "This seems to be an attempt to imitate what is happening in France."

Ten cars were set ablaze in Brussels, with the others in Antwerp and the smaller towns of Lokeren, Mechelen and Ledeberg, the centre said in a statement. There were a number of arrests.

Brussels firefighters were called out 25 times to deal with attempted arson attacks, including three petrol bombs.

Belgium has a large immigrant population, many of Moroccan origin, with high unemployment among the young. But unlike France, it does not have a high concentration of immigrants in ghetto-like areas around major cities.

The far-right Vlaams Belang party -- which captured 25 percent of the vote during regional elections in the northern Flanders region last year -- has called for the expulsion of the perpetrators should they turn out to be immigrants.

"(They) are no longer welcome in our country," Filip Dewinter, a top party leader, said in a statement on his personal Web site.

"In the case of foreigners, they need to be expelled. In the case of foreigners who hold the Belgian nationality, they need to be stripped of their nationality," he said.

Belgian officials have tried to forestall violence by stepping up police patrols and increasing dialogue with migrant community leaders.
