Following the attack in Arras (Pas-de-Calais), the executive is under pressure as its immigration bill is due to arrive in the Senate on November 6.
Gérald Darmanin accelerates on the immigration bill. He feels that the political context is more conducive to more firmness on immigration and that is what he wants. Completing the text in the current atmosphere is easier for the government, according to a right-wing senator specializing in the issue. The strategy of the Minister of the Interior East to try to convince public opinion that with his text, things could or could be different.
Double strategy towards LR
For example, the Interior Ministry could deport foreign offenders even if they arrived in France before the age of 13. We also clearly see the target of his strategy: right-wing deputies, members of LR, are essential if he wants to have this text voted on in the National Assembly without using the famous article 49.3. There is a double strategy towards them: an outstretched hand and at the same time a thinly veiled threat to place political responsibility for possible new attacks on them. Convincing the right without having MPs from the majority who would rebel is Gérald Darmanin’s difficult equation.
