Patrick Stefanini

Patrick Stefanini is a French official who serves as the special representative of the French Minister of Interior for immigration issues. Recently, he has been in the news for outlining the French government's decision to exclude undocumented Algerian migrants from a residency regularization process aimed at addressing labor shortages in various sectors. His statements reflect the government's broader immigration policies under Minister Bruno Retailleau, which are seen as part of a campaign to tighten immigration controls and manage relations with Algeria.
