They kept him well for years, left him free, the priest took him under his wing and that was his loss! It has been nearly 7 years since a Rwandan migrant was prosecuted while he was committing murder and terrorist crimes. He was the one who murdered a Catholic priest in the western part of France on Monday morning, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced on Twitter.

According to information from the right-wing weekly Valeurs Actuelle, the murder was committed by a Rwandan migrant who was welcomed into the community of the brutally murdered 60-year-old priest, Olivier Maire, in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre; the migrant had been living there since last year, before that he was homeless. Le Figaro writes that the killer was already under judicial supervision because he set fire to the Nantes Cathedral in 2020. Moreover, before that, already in 2019, he was expelled from France for a violent crime, but they still let him stay.

Valeurs Actuelles does not detail the manner of the murder, but suggests that it was committed with extreme cruelty.

The opposition politicians were outraged by what happened, especially since it was a relapsed criminal. Marine Le Pen, the president of the right-wing, anti-immigration National Compact, said it was a total failure of the state and French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.

In France, someone can be an illegal immigrant, he can set fire to the Nantes cathedral, even then he will not be deported, and then he can commit a crime again, even kill a priest, said the politician indignantly.

Gerard Darmanin gave a surprising answer. He said: whoever asks why the expulsion was not carried out does not know the details.

THE COURT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE RWANDA MIGRANT HAD BEEN TAKING PLACE FOR 7 YEARS.

During this time, it was determined that he was not entitled to refugee status, and that he had also committed a crime in France. Then

THEY WERE REJECTED, IN 2019, BUT THIS WAS SIMPLY NOT ENFORCED BY THE FRENCH STATE.

Then, in 2020, the criminal who remained at large set fire to the cathedral in Nantes, which had taken him in, but he was still allowed to remain at large after that. And now he killed the priest who took him in even after that.

According to a large part of the French public opinion - this can be seen in the comment section of the newspapers - what happened shows the dysfunctionality of the left-wing French state.
