Immigration was already becoming a serious problem in the France of 1973, as conservative elements in the system recognised, but were ultimately unwilling to address. De Gaulle’s successor, President Georges Pompidou, a far better man and leader than his counterparts in British Conservatism or the GOP of his time, complained privately how every time that he wished to implement restrictions on immigration, his party’s major donors in French industry, notably the construction giant Bouygues, lobbied against any such restrictions.
