The Iran Project : French authorities announced today (11 Feb 2024) the birth right citizenship in Muslim-majority Mayotte will be revoked.
According to The Iran Project,Mayotte is a French Indian Ocean island, and the majority of its residents (97%) are Muslims who came from Comoros seeking a better life. It is one of the regions where France deports immigrants the most, compared to the rest of the French administrative provinces.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin declared to reporters in his visit to Mayotte today: “We are going to take a radical decision,” emphasizing that “it will no longer be possible to become French if you are not the child of a French parent.”
He explained that this step requires an amendment to the Constitution, but it will “reduce the attractiveness of the archipelago for prospective migrants.”
