The Bottom Line
- Parliament gave final approval to the immigration law on Tuesday,
- The Assembly voted for it with 349 votes in favour and 186 against, out of 573 voters, with LR and RN joining their votes to that of the majority.
- Elisabeth Borne is due to speak this Wednesday morning on France Inter, while Emmanuel Macron is also due to speak during the day, possibly on television.
- The government is in the doldrums: Health Minister Aurélien Rousseau submitted his resignation to the Prime Minister on Tuesday, without it being known during the night whether it had been accepted.

Aurélien Rousseau has submitted his resignation
The slump is also affecting the government: Health Minister Aurélien Rousseau presented his resignation to the Prime Minister on Tuesday, without it being known during the night whether it had been accepted.
Several ministers opposed to the text, such as Clément Beaune (Transport), Patrice Vergriete (Housing) and Sylvie Retailleau (Higher Education), were received in the evening in Matignon.

She must speak Wednesday morning on France Inter, while Emmanuel Macron must also speak during the day, possibly on television.
