A flammable file. “He A new immigration law will be needed to adapt a certain number of provisions.announced government spokesperson Maud Bregeon on BFMTV on Sunday October 13. The latter specified that these proposals would be presented to parliament at the start of 2025. Among them, is the possibility of extending the detention of illegal foreigners in administrative detention centers (CRA), to increase the maximum duration of 90 days to 210 days.

At the end of September, the deputies of the Republican Right group of Laurent Wauquiez tabled a bill to this effect, after the murder in Paris of a young student, Filipina. The very conservative Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, also defends this position.

“We have a government with this Bruno Retailleau who is giving us an immigration law as a pledge to the far right at the beginning of next year. It’s all sewn together”reacted the first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, interviewed on franceinfo.

This announcement comes less than a year after the vote on the previous law on the same subject, after a compromise between the presidential camp and the right in a joint committee, preceded by heated debates. Several measures requested by Les Républicains had been censored by the Constitutional Council.

For the new bill, “we will discuss with all the parliamentary groups”declared Maud Bregeon. “We are not going to seek support from the National Rally”she assured while Marine Le Pen, leader of the RN deputies, made the absence of a new law on immigration a “red line” which could trigger government censorship.
