Sacha Houlié, Renaissance deputy and president of the law committee at the National Assembly, will lead this body which brings together 14 deputies and senators to decide the fate of the immigration bill.

See you Monday afternoon. The Joint Joint Commission (CMP) will begin its work on Monday at 5 p.m., announced Sacha Houlié, chairman of the law committee at the National Assembly, to AFP, Wednesday December 13. MP Renaissance will chair it.

Earlier in the morning, thehe president of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, had suggested that the CMP, which brings together 14 deputies and senators, would begin “probably Monday or Tuesday” to try to reach a compromise on the government’s immigration bill. “This commission will get to work informally starting today” in order to “prepare” the debates, she assured in the France 2 program “Les 4 Vérités”.

If the latter are “conclusive”a vote on the law could take place “before Christmas”, according to Yaël Braun-Pivet. Government spokesperson Olivier Véran declared on Tuesday that the government wished to convene “as quickly as possible” this joint committee, after the vote on a motion to reject by the deputies on Monday.

In search of compromise

It’s necessary “get out of postures” and “each one takes a step towards the other”she enjoined, summing up: “We have to find a compromise”. In response to the President of the Republicans, Eric Ciotti, for whom the final text must be the very right-wing one adopted by the Senate, the President of the Assembly estimated that“we must not say to ourselves ‘take it or leave it, it’s that or nothing’. That’s not a discussion”.

The President of the Assembly also called on the government not to resort to 49.3 on this ultra-sensitive text. “I do not see how this text could be adopted without any debate and without a vote by parliamentarians”, she argued. The immigration bill was rejected on Monday by the National Assembly before even being debated, leaving the executive in an unprecedented crisis situation.
