” So far, so good. » Gérald Darmanin breathes as he leaves the National Assembly around 3 a.m. That night of December 2 to 3, the Law Commission adopted the much-maligned Immigration bill. But it was laborious. For five days, the Minister of the Interior was wet, occupying his place for hours without ever delegating it. All day, sometimes part of the night. To care for and reassure the deputies of his camp, caress and flatter those of the oppositions. At the cost, sometimes, of some contortions so that his text is never put in the minority. After the favorable vote of the senators two weeks earlier, Darmanin took a new step that night. “Yes, politics is a job,” he boasts to savor this small success. A short-lived joy.

This Monday, from 4 p.m., the tenant of Beauvau returns to work, this time examining the text in session at the Assembly. The debates in this heated cauldron promise to be arduous, even violent. The outcome uncertain. They will begin with a preliminary rejection motion tabled by environmentalists which, if adopted, would stop the discussions planned to last until December 22. He doesn’t want to believe it, but the doubt is great. To the point that several of his friends stepped up this weekend to say that we had to support him. Édouard Philippe in the JDD, or the mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi who, on France 3, bluntly said that “we must help Gérald Darmanin with all our strength”. Run for your life.
