Immigration: Emmanuel Macron wants "a single text" of law which allows a "balance"

2023-04-23T17:47:52.845Z


The Head of State confirmed in Le Parisien on Sunday that he again wanted a single text on immigration, without specifying when it would be examined, or whether he reserved the possibility of using 49-3 on it.


Emmanuel Macron finally wished Sunday in

Le Parisien

that the future law on immigration be presented "

in a single text

", which allows a "

balance

", after announcing a month ago the division of his project.

I want an effective and fair law, in a single text that maintains this balance

,” declared the Head of State.

In a speech on March 22, he had however indicated that he wanted to split the project into “

several texts

” to keep only the most consensual aspects, for lack of an absolute majority in the Assembly.

But the maneuver had also aroused hostility on the right and on the left, the Minister of the Interior himself pleading last week for "

a strong bill

": "

I would like this to be the text that I proposed

” and not new texts, he had declared.

The initial bill carried by Gérald Darmanin and the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt has two main components, each irritating some of the opposition: on the one hand, measures to facilitate and accelerate the expulsions of foreigners who constitute a threat to order audience ;

on the other, regularization measures for certain undocumented workers in sectors in “

tension

”.

The 'at the same time' is not an ambiguity.

When you are on this ridge path, you are attacked in stereo, those who say it is too soft and those who claim it is awful

”, quipped Emmanuel Macron on Sunday, deploring an “

often caricatural

” debate around immigration .

We must be more demanding in terms of integration, defend French secularism

,” he pleaded.

On the immigration side, our procedures are much too long.

Deadlines explode, people end up finding a job, settling down and being protected by other rules.

So it doesn't work anymore

," he said.

"I can't tell you what the way will be"

The head of state, however, remained evasive on the method that will be used by the executive to get this text passed, while Elisabeth Borne has undertaken to no longer use article 49.3, excluding budgetary texts.

"

The Prime Minister is looking with the different parties, I can't tell you what the path will be

," said the head of state.

"

We must build a political majority, it depends on what the relative majority on the one hand, the constructive oppositions on the other, are ready to join

", he eluded.

During his televised address last Monday, the President of the Republic revived the subject and promised to strengthen "

the control of illegal immigration, while better integrating those who join our country

".

And on RTL on Tuesday, Olivier Dussopt also set the objective of resuming the debate "

before the summer

".
