This is a new reversal for the immigration bill. This Tuesday, Le Figaro reveals that Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne would like to present the immigration bill in July.
This desire was expressed during a meeting in Matignon. Élisabeth Borne has asked Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, in conjunction with Olivier Dussopt, Minister of Labor and Franck Riester, Minister responsible for Relations with Parliament, to conduct “consultations in the coming weeks to propose a strategy making it possible to adopt effective measures that can bring together the presidential majority”, according to the entourage of the Prime Minister.
However, the head of government had said in April that there was “no majority to vote for such a text” and decided to postpone its presentation to the Council of Ministers in the fall. The Prime Minister had also considered that it was “not the time to launch a debate on a subject that could divide the country”.
One of the priorities of the “hundred days”
“These consultations will last a month. The objective is to present a bill in July so that measures can be examined in Parliament in the fall,” according to a source at Matignon.
The Minister of the Interior had already presented a text, and its examination was initially scheduled for the end of March in the Senate. But President Emmanuel Macron had first announced his postponement and assured that it would be divided into several texts, before returning to these remarks by pleading for a major law in “a single text”, “effective and fair”.
In mid-April, in front of his troops gathered at the Elysee Palace, the Head of State had even made it one of the priorities of the “hundred days” he decreed to relaunch his five-year term. “If we don’t do immigration and work” before July 14, he hammered according to participants, “that means we won’t do it” at all. But his Prime Minister had recorded the political impasse in the following days.
