From an outsiders view this seems like a really strange affairs. So immigrants living there for 25 years aren't allowed to vote in regional (?) elections so that the natives can easier secede which they didn't partly because they didn't participate in the vote? Or would this create the same backlash when tourned around and immigrants in France couldn't vote?
