Immigration law: the points in the text that divide
Immigration law: the points in the text that divide – (franceinfo)
A decisive evening is taking place, Monday December 18, for the future of immigration law. Seven deputies and seven senators met in a joint committee to find a compromise on the text. Update on blocking topics.
Coming to terms with the opposition without dividing its majority: Élisabeth Borne plays the balancing act, and especially big. On the evening of Sunday, December 17, the Prime Minister once again met with leading figures from the right. Behind the text toughened by the Senate hides reluctance within the majority, with two major points of tension: the abolition of family allowances for legally resident foreigners residing in France for five years and the establishment of a ” deposit” for students.
An outcome with serious consequences
Éric Ciotti, the head of the Republicans, is putting pressure on the Prime Minister and indicated that he was awaiting a letter addressed to the President of the Senate on the timetable for the reform of state medical aid, desired for the start of the 2024 school year, and a commitment from the government to accelerated means for the removal and expulsion of illegal immigrants. Whatever the result, the executive is aware: the outcome of the joint committee, which meets Monday evening, will have serious consequences.
