Gérald Darmanin awaits the support of the Republicans

This is Gérald Darmanin’s bet. Get his immigration bill passed by the end of the year. Can the Minister of the Interior find an agreement with the Republicans? Sunday May 21, the three tenors of LR had unveiled their muscular plan to limit the number of immigrants. A minister ready to compromise but who sets the rules. “The immigration text cannot be 100% LR and 0% government text”, indicates his entourage. Gérald Darmanin’s law provides in particular for facilitating deportations and reducing the duration of asylum applications. It intends to regularize certain undocumented migrants in jobs in tension, construction or catering.

The 49-3 mentioned

But these regularizations, the Republicans refuse them. According to them, this will cause a draft. “The government’s problem is their divided majority. If Darmanin abandons the regularizations, there will be a rebellion on their left wing”, says a Republican figure. But in the majority, some believe that the LRs have already buried everything in agreement. “I don’t see how Darmanin can get his text adopted without going through a 49-3”, declares a Renaissance deputy. But in case of 49-3, the Republicans pose the threat of a motion of censure. Compromise or blockage, a puzzle in perspective for the presidential camp.
