after the adoption of the immigration bill, dismay and anger on the left, the National Rally savors

The votes of the deputies of the National Rally made it possible to have the immigration bill adopted, this is what Jean-Philippe Tanguy assured this Wednesday. False, retorts Gérald Darmanin who prides himself on a united majority behind his text.

“If the deputies of the National Rally had not voted for this law, it would not pass, contrary to the lies of Gérald Darmanin“, maintains this Wednesday at the microphone of franceinfo Jean-Philippe Tanguy, RN deputy for the Somme, after the adoption of the immigration bill by Parliament.

Jean-Philippe Tanguy greets a “ideological victory and politics“for his party after”decades of fighting under insults, bad faith criticism and deceit“.

Raquel Garrido, MP for France Insoumise, makes the same calculation. “If the RN had voted against, the immigration bill would not pass. Factual. Arithmetic“, she assures, speaking of “a Le Pen law”. This text notably tightens the conditions of entry and access to social benefits in France for foreign people. It is “a tipping point in the history of our country that everyone understands“, criticizes Mathilde Panot, the leader of the LFI deputies in the National Assembly, at the franceinfo microphone in the corridors of the Assembly.

“They are using the voices of the National Rally, they are using the ideas of the National Rally to pass the worst law we have ever seen in the history of our country on the issue of migration”

Mathilde Panot announces: the fight will continue before the Constitutional Council, an opinion also shared by the ecologist Cyrielle Chatelain. “The majority finally gave up all fights“, she explains denouncing measures “which were voted with the extreme right in a joint party committee: this is the case of the student deposit, this is the case of the loss of nationality, this is the case of national preference“, she lists as she leaves the hemicycle.

A “not perfect” text recognizes Gérald Darmanin

The Minister of the Interior, who carried the immigration bill, maintains his words: his text did not need the votes of the RN to be adopted with 349 votes for and 186 against. He assures that the “majority“votes were obtained”even if we remove the votes from the National Rally“In fact, all 88 RN deputies voted for the text Tuesday evening in the Assembly.”After these many months of work around the immigration law, desired by the President of the Republic, I would like to be satisfied, despite the vicissitudes and parliamentary hiccups, with this adoption without the votes of the National Rally“, reacts Gérald Darmanin, speaking to franceinfo at the end of the vote.

“The majority was united and was able to adopt extremely strong measures on a text which is certainly not perfect, because it is the result of an agreement”

Gérald Darmanin also greets “the determination of many ministers”referring to the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt, Franck Riester, responsible for relations with Parliament and Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne.

Gérald Darmanin highlights the absence of recourse to 49.3. “The majority was solide”, he maintains. The minister also says to himself “very proud to be in a government which held, which did not scull, which looked at the general interest of the French above all, despite the pressures“. Emmanuel Macron had “said before the end of the year, the mission is accomplished“, adds Gérald Darmanin.
