On Monday, December 11, the deputies adopted the motion for prior rejection of the immigration bill. For Stewart Chau, research director at Verian, “this defeat is astonishing”. Guest of 19/20 info, he indeed recalls that the text, “for months, from an opinion point of view, has been rather supported in the various surveys”. “We see a fairly majority support rate for a set of measures provided for in this bill”specifies Stewart Chau.
A desire for debate on the part of the French
According to him, the adoption of this motion of prior rejection in the National Assembly has the consequence of “end a time of debate on a major subject”, “that is to say a confrontation of arguments”what “will have a negative impact”. “The French, when they decided on the relative majority, they decided it precisely for the debate”he recalls. “And besides, when we ask them, a year after the previous elections, if they had to vote again, would they vote again with a relative majority, (…) they would vote again the same thing”specifies Stewart Chau.
