The executive is optimistic. A “compromise is emerging” around the immigration bill, which will be examined from Monday in the Senate and where an “agreement” could be found on this highly anticipated text, the government estimated on Friday.
“We will have this text adopted without 49.3. There is a compromise emerging” in the Senate, the Ministry of the Interior explains, regarding this text which provides for a battery of measures to facilitate the expulsions of foreigners responsible for disturbing public order and a controversial aspect of regularization in professions in tension.
Despite firm opposition from the right on this last point, “we agree 90% on the provisions of the text” and a “political compromise will be found with the Senate on the entire text”, anticipates the Ministry of Interior.
A debate that will “make the masks fall”
“Beyond the postures, there is the possibility of an agreement, I am quite confident on the issue,” also affirmed government spokesperson Olivier Véran on BFMTV and RMC.
According to him, “when a law is positive for the country” and when it is “supported by a majority” of the population, “the situation justifies breaking postures to move towards the general interest”.
“The parliamentary debate will make it possible to remove a certain number of masks” and “to show that those who oppose” this reform “are sometimes in postures”, he insisted.
A remark which targets the Republicans, braced against article 3 of the text which aims to facilitate the regularization of undocumented workers.
“The same right which is the first to ask, in its constituencies, to regularize this or that because he does a good job at the local hospital or because he works well in the construction company,” underlined Olivier Véran , affirming that “the majority, the government and the Prime Minister are committed to Article 3” and that “there is a very large majority of French people who understand it”.
