the new government puzzle

This is Gérald Darmanin’s bet. Get his immigration bill passed by the end of the year. Can the Minister of the Interior reach an agreement with Les Républicains? Sunday May 21, the three tenors of LR had unveiled their muscular plan to limit the number of immigrants. The minister is ready to compromise, but sets 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 shortage occupations, construction or catering.

The threat of a motion of censure

But these adjustments 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 any agreement. “I don’t see how Darmanin can get his text adopted without going through a 49-3”, declares a Renaissance deputy. In the event of 49-3, the Republicans pose the threat of a motion of censure.
