The most vital stage of the immigration invoice opens Monday, December 11, with its examination in public session on the National Assembly. For two weeks, the deputies are known as to debate within the Hemicycle on the textual content introduced by the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, which goals to speed up the procedures for analyzing asylum requests, to facilitate the expulsions of foreigners deemed harmful or to simplify the regularization of undocumented staff in professions in scarcity. Nearly 26,000 amendments had been tabled.
The tenant of Place Beauvau, who made this textual content his political battle, managed to acquire a good vote from the Senate in the beginning of November, then within the regulation committee of the Assembly, on December 2. Parliamentary victories received at the price of quite a few lodging which weakened the coherence of the invoice, notably hardened within the hope of an settlement with the appropriate.
For a number of weeks, Mr. Darmanin has tightened his communication on the provisions regarding the removing of foreigners deemed harmful, with the lifting of protections benefiting specifically those that arrived in France earlier than the age of 13 or who’ve resided in France for greater than of twenty years, or 4,000 further foreigners per yr who will be deported in response to Beauvau.
A direct response to the homicide of a professor by an Islamist terrorist from the Caucasus that occurred in Arras on October 13.

“Gérald Darmanin plays the sorcerer’s apprentice in a weakened democracy, in a fractured country. With him, the government has made this debate on immigration possible without barriers. castigates the leader of the socialist deputies, Boris Vallaud, while the left struggles to be heard on the migration issue. For her part, the president of the National Rally (RN) group in the Assembly, Marine Le Pen, boasted on CNews on Sunday that her party was now “the center of gravity of political ideas in France”.
In this context, pleasure is gaining on the manager which remains to be undecided of getting the required variety of votes to have its invoice adopted. On the left, proper and much proper, the federal government’s textual content stays extensively criticized. Even the help of the 21 deputies of the Liberties, Independents, Overseas and Territories (LIOT) group “is clearly not acquired”, warns Christophe Naegelen, elected LIOT des Vosges.
