Its measures are those of a “new pact of trust”, which it describes in its program as “social and humanistic”. This is a program law lasting 10 years intended to make up for the delays in economic and social development, but also to “promote the territorial continuity of goods, services and people”. It also intends to “strengthen the skills” of the overseas ministry with an overseas council which will be held under the chairmanship of the President of the Republic every year to assess the actions carried out by each minister in the overseas territories.

Among its measures, there are quotas for welcoming foreigners by country and by category (depending on whether they are students, with their family, affiliated with a particular profession, etc.), but also the systematic exclusion of illegal immigrants, in practicing the “zero visa” policy for countries that refuse to take them back. In addition, she wants to end automatic family reunification.
