SOCIAL EXPLOSION UNLESS IMMIGRATION CONTROLLED: SARKOZY

PARIS, April 2, 2007 (AFP) - Right-wing presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy warned Monday of a social explosion unless immigration to France is brought under control.

"There is a certain exasperation in France. And why? Because of the way national identity is disputed, because of the lack of control over immigration, because of fraud, because of waste," he told a news conference.

"Who cannot see that there is a clear link between a policy of uncontrolled immigration over 30 or 40 years and the social explosion in our poor neighbourhoods. It's blindingly obvious that there is a link," he said.

"If one cannot even say that in the poor neighbourhoods there is a population that recently became French and that the size of this population has created problems of integration which mean that our republican pact threatens to explode -- if one cannot even say that, there is no chance of solving the problem.

"Controlling immigration is a prerequisite for safeguarding our social pact. Otherwise it will explode. We need to control immigration, dry up its source, in order to be able to integrate those who are here," he said.

Sarkozy, 52, who is the favourite in the polls ahead of the first-round of the presidential election on April 22, has triggered an angry reaction on the left with his call for a ministry of "immigration and national identity".

Two prominent members of Sarkozy's own camp expressed reservations about his ministry idea on Monday, with Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin saying that he was "not entirely in favour".

Centrist former minister Simone Veil, who last month endorsed Sarkozy's presidential bid, said the idea was "more than imprudent. It is more serious .... I find the formula very ambiguous. No one knows what it means."

But Veil praised Sarkozy for his "openness.... He may be blunt in his language but people are wrong to doubt his humanity."
