The Republicans know that their support will be invaluable if the government wants to adopt this text without resorting to 49-3.
Which seems to be the case, since the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt said he wanted to “
do everything to avoid
” such a scenario.
In this context, the LR boss of the Senate, Gérard Larcher, specifies the conditions and red lines that his political family will pose.
“
We are ready to re-engage the debate
”, declared the elected official of Yvelines at the microphone of France Info this Wednesday.
“
We need a text regulating migratory flows, it is essential
,” he insisted.
This must however contain clear provisions, making it possible to answer “
the question of asylum, the question of family immigration, the question, also, linked to the reception of students
”.
"
We need a text that allows at the same time to support integration and co-development
", developed the senator, who therefore calls for a "
firm
" but also "
human
" policy.

“
We are against it
, immediately decided Gérard Larcher.
Because we have 500,000 people today from immigration in a regular situation who are unemployed.
So let's take care of them first.

In any case, we are ready
”, has already indicated Gérard Larcher.
