The decision of the Constitutional Council on the immigration law will be rendered Thursday January 25.from 4:30 p.m.“, indicated this Tuesday the Constitutional Council in a press release. The date was already known, but not the time of this decision.

A month after its chaotic adoption in Parliament, the Constitutional Council rendered its decision on this criticized text, with the hope on the left, and even in the presidential camp, of seeing a large part of it censored. After the adoption, the Constitutional Council was contacted by Emmanuel Macron himself, the President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet and by left-wing deputies and senators

Restrictions on family reunification, access to social benefits or end of the automaticity of land rights: a certain number of measures can be repealed in this law, against which several tens of thousands of demonstrators marched on Sunday January 21.

According to the Ministry of the Interior, 75,000 people participated in one of the 160 marches organized in France, while the organizers give the figure of 150,000 participants.
