Information not to be missed
“Duty accomplished”. Élisabeth Borne welcomed on Wednesday morning the adoption “without the votes of the National Rally”, of the Immigration law, “which respects our values” and did not cause, according to her, “a crisis among the majority”. On France Inter, the Prime Minister, however, admitted that measures in the text were probably unconstitutional and considered that the text “would have to evolve” after the examination of the Constitutional Council, referred to it by the President of the Republic.
After 18 months of twists and turns around this flammable bill, the Assembly voted on it Tuesday evening with 349 votes for and 186 votes against, LR and RN adding their votes to that of the majority. Criticized by the left and praised by the far right, the text notably plans to extend the minimum period of residence in France so that foreigners in a legal situation can receive social benefits and puts an end to the automaticity of land law.
The majority was divided on its adoption: it missed 59 votes, out of 251 deputies, between votes against and abstentions. Health Minister Aurélien Rousseau, for his part, announced his intention to resign, even if Élisabeth Borne declared on Wednesday that Emmanuel Macron had “not received (his) resignation”.

A VTC ride will cost a minimum of 10.60 euros in 2024. The platforms (Bolt, Uber, Heetch, Le Cab, etc.) and the drivers’ unions signed an agreement on Tuesday to increase the minimum price of a ride. Established for the first time at the beginning of 2023 at 7.65 net, it is increased to 9 euros net in the pockets of drivers.
A review clause is set for the end of 2024. To these 9 euros, we must add the platform commissions, varying between 18% and 25%. In theory, therefore, an individual will pay a minimum of 10.60 euros for a journey.
