who are the 14 parliamentarians on the joint committee responsible for finding a compromise on the text?

Seven deputies and seven senators will meet on Monday afternoon to try to develop a final version of the text, rejected on Monday by the National Assembly before even being examined in the hemicycle.

It is an ordinary stage of the legislative journey, which today takes on particular importance: the joint joint committee (CMP) on the immigration bill, a text hotly debated for a year, will meet on Monday December 18 at the Assembly nationally, at 5 p.m. Made up of seven senators and seven deputies, without advisors or ministers, this body is responsible for developing a common version of a legal text between the two chambers of Parliament. The political balance of the latter is reflected there.

For this joint joint commission, on the Senate side, the right is well represented, with three elected Les Républicains: Bruno Retailleau (president of the LR group), François-Noël Buffet (president of the law committee in the upper house) and Muriel Jourda ( LR rapporteur of the immigration bill). Added Philippe Bonnecarrère, also rapporteur of the text and member of the centrist Union, which forms the senatorial majority with the Republicans. Senator Olivier Bitz will represent the presidential camp (within the RDPI group), while the socialists Marie-Pierre de La Gontrie and Corinne Narassiguin will complete the list of parliamentarians for the upper house.

Four deputies from the presidential majority

On the side of the National Assembly, it is the presidential majority which is best represented, with four members alone: ​​Sacha Houlié (Renaissance president of the law committee), Florent Boudié (Renaissance general rapporteur of the bill) , Marie Guévenoux (Renaissance quaestor of the National Assembly) and Elodie Jacquier-Laforge (MoDem rapporteur of the bill). The deputies Annie Genevard (Les Républicains), Yoann Gillet (National Rally) and Andrée Taurinya (La France insoumise) will also be present to discuss the many points of this divisive text, even if they are in a minority position.

The holders of this CMP will be accompanied by substitutes, also parliamentarians, from their political groups. However, they will not have the right to vote on the provisions debated Monday afternoon, before the Senate and the National Assembly decide on Tuesday, as the government hopes.
