Elisabeth Borne is working hard to try to find a compromise on the immigration bill. To do this, she consults the Republicans to find an agreement, but she must also maintain the support of the elected representatives of her majority, while the Joint Commission meets on Monday, December 18.
After the rejection of the project immigration law, Elizabeth Borne took control by leading negotiations with the right. These are the leaders of the Les Républicains party (LR) who have the key to a hypothetical return of the law retorted Monday December 11 at the Assembly. A negotiator LR noted : “There is no question of tinkering with the Senate text. If there are adjustments, it will be marginal.“The right would agree to debate state medical aid later (SOUL) for illegal aliens, which senators demanded be removed.
4 days of negotiations left
Privately, the majority recognizes a bargain. “We are ready to move on regularizations, but they must do so on the AME“, indicates a negotiator from Renaissance. The regularization of undocumented workers was a marker of the bill from Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin. It would therefore be abandoned. The new text could very closely resemble the version toughened by the Senate. A minister said: “If in the end it is the Senate text that passes, there will be resentment and divisions among us that will remain.“It would still be necessary for the joint committee, the body supposed to find the right formula on Monday December 18, to come to an agreement. There are 4 days of negotiations remaining.
