In need of an absolute majority in the Assembly, the presidential camp hoped to be able to count on the support of Les Républicains deputies but a few years ago, their president Éric Ciotti insisted on France 2 that he would never accept “the regularization message”. Article 3 defended by Gérald Darmanin plans to grant a one-year renewable residence permit to undocumented workers in sectors with a labor shortage. A “Red line” for the Republicans who consider that this measure will be a “call for air”. “You are telling the whole world ‘come, come, enter our borders illegally, don’t worry, you will have a job and above all, we will regularize you’”judged the boss of LR senators, Bruno Retailleau, on franceinfo, on October 31.
