Censorship of the immigration law: “We are quickly drifting towards a debate on the rule of law”, notes Benjamin Morel, political scientist – (France info)
Guest of 12/13 info, Friday January 26, political scientist Benjamin Morel returns in particular to the broad censorship of the immigration bill by the Constitutional Council, which took place the day before.
Many articles of the immigration law have been censored by the Constitutional Council, Thursday January 25, because they were legislative riders, that is to say they had no direct relationship with the text.
“We probably expected on the right to have a debate on the rule of law, saying: look, the Council has censored on substantive issues and therefore in doing so, we cannot make progress in terms of policy concerning regulation of immigration only on condition of changing the Constitution”, analyzes political scientist Benjamin Morel in 12/13 info, Friday, before adding: “The problem is that this reaction clashes a little with the content of the decision, because the Council does not really comment on the substance of almost all of the provisions. [retoquées].”
Critics of Laurent Wauquiez
“We drift very quickly towards a debate on the rule of law and constitutional frameworks, while the decision does not really address this. continues the political scientist. Laurent Wauquiezpresident (LR) of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, spoke in particular in Le Parisien of a “coup d’état“and called for a referendum on immigration.”As the Council does not really comment on the substance, we cannot say that, all of a sudden, the policies desired by the right in matters of immigration would be prevented by the Constitutional Council. This is not true“, estimates Benjamin Morel.
