Parliament definitively adopted the immigration bill on Tuesday, 349 deputies voting for and 186 against, after a favorable vote by the Senate earlier in the evening, a victorious epilogue for the majority but carrying serious political consequences.
Deputies and senators had agreed earlier in the day on a common version of the text, after long and difficult debates.
The immigration text is definitively voted on. A long fight to better integrate foreigners and expel those who commit acts of delinquency. A strong and firm text. Without the votes of RN deputies, congratulated the Minister of the Interior, Grald Darmanin, on the X network (formerly Twitter).
The RN and the right voted for the text, the left against, each group filling up with its votes except the communist group where it was one vote short. The majority, however, was divided with 20 votes against and 17 abstentions at Renaissance, 5 votes against and 15 abstentions at MoDem, and 2 votes against at Horizons.
The leader of France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mlenchon, for his part denounced a bitter victory acquired thanks to the voices of the far right. Without the 88 votes of the RN = 261, less than the absolute majority (which was 265, Editor’s note)! (…) A new political axis has been put in place, he told X.
The PS announced immediately after the vote an appeal to the Constitutional Council, an approach that the President of the Republic had already announced.
