France

The 2025 immigration figures for France have just been published, and, unsurprisingly, they paint a catastrophic picture, with a constant and sustained increase in arrivals on French territory. However, these figures only cover legal immigration: if we add estimates of illegal arrivals, it becomes clear that the feeling of being overwhelmed by an invasion experienced by many French people is not just a figment of their imagination.

France issued 384,230 first residence permits—valid for up to 12 months—last year, an increase of 11.2% over the previous year. This figure is essential because it is the ultimate indicator for measuring legal immigration, as Nicolas Pouvreau-Monti, director of the Observatory of Immigration and Demography, points out in an interview for Atlantico. It does not include renewals of residence permits, European foreigners, or minors, which means that it is actually a low estimate of the number of arrivals.

A survey from the French Institute of Public Opinion (Ifop) has found that at least one in three Muslims living in France believe that the Sharia law should be instituted globally.

In a follow up to its annual survey of Muslim opinion in France, Ifop released another poll of 1,005 Muslims over the age of 15 to specifically examine “the influence of political Islamism” in the country, notably through the Muslim Brotherhood, which the French government has accused of engaging in a decades-long campaign to undermine Western civilization.

Every year huge crowds gather in Paris at the Champs-Élysées to ring in the new year with fireworks and concerts. Much like the New Year’s Eve parties in Times Square in New York City, the joyous festivities are a key link in the chain of worldwide celebrations of the year to come.

No more.

French schools are failing badly. A report from the Observatory of Immigration and Demography (OID), published this week, lays bare the extent of the education system’s struggle with immigration. The report’s author, teacher and writer Joachim Le Floch-Imad, delivers the verdict that “immigration is not the primary cause of our schools’ problems, but it exacerbates all of their difficulties.”

After all, France’s demographics have changed at a rapid pace, placing unprecedented pressure on classrooms, teachers and the basic mission of the school system. In 2024, 31% of newborns had at least one parent born outside the EU. Births to two non-EU-born parents are up 74% since 2000. Today, 40% of children under four in France are either migrants or have a migrant background. And more than one in five fourth-grade (aged nine and 10) speaks a language other than French at home.

A majority of young French Muslims rank sharia above the laws of the Republic, according to a study.

The poll, for Ecran de veille magazine, also found that more than a third sympathise with Islamist ideology.

Some 57 per cent of Muslims aged 15 to 24 believe Islamic law should outrank French legislation in areas such as ritual slaughter of animals, marriage and inheritance.

Civil war is coming.

They haven’t won in a war, but they’ve changed the battlefield: no longer the streets, but our minds.

From the court records.

Stade de France:

“Against the stadium gate we find a bone. Pieces of human flesh, a hand. Then what could be an arm and shreds of meat. On Rue de l’Olympisme, a finger.”

Then the photo of Manuel Colaço Dias, the first victim of the attacks. His body had “eleven metal nuts, including one in the lung that caused death.”

Next stop: Le Carillon and Le Petit Cambodge, two restaurants in the city center.

No words.

Please tell me this isn’t real. @fancypants_s https://t.co/VT2UBCZVJw

Three young Islamist women have been arrested in France on suspicion of plotting terror attacks in Paris to pay “homage to Bin Laden” and to mark the 2015 Bataclan theatre attack.

France’s National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) has charged three women, aged 18, 19, and 21, with a “criminal terrorist conspiracy” following a months-long investigation involving wiretaps and other surveillance, which uncovered plans for a potential suicide attack in Paris.
