After the successive rejections of the immigration bill in the National Assembly, and the resignation of Gérald Darmanin by Emmanuel Macron, what to expect? Explanations on the set of 12/13 info, with political scientist Jérôme Fourquet, director of the Opinion department at Ifop.
After the rejection of the immigration bill in the National Assembly, “Gérald Darmanin had submitted his resignation, refused on the evening of the failure of the vote. He is undoubtedly weakened“, observes political scientist Jérôme Fourquet on the set of 12/13 info. “Everything will play out in the coming days: either we manage to get the text through, even if it is planed, or the crisis continues and it will be complicated.“, he continues.
The presidential camp in difficulty
For this expert, the government faces two difficulties: it does not have a majority in the National Assembly, and “the presidential camp is divided. Making concessions to the right causes the left wing to lose“, he analyzes. According to Jérôme Fourquet, “the right feels its wings growing because it sees that it is it that holds the key to the solution. (…) We do not see the Macronist camp turning to environmentalists or socialists to look for the missing voices.“As the European elections draw closer,”the right must be able to make itself heard. She chose this text to mark her difference from the presidential majority“, analyzes Jérôme Fourquet.
