The Immigration Bill, whose examination was to start in the Senate in October, will be preceded by a “great debate”, announced the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, Wednesday August 3.

A little tour and then leaves. Ten days after announcing the presentation of a rapid immigration law, Gérald Darmanin must retropedalate on the calendar. “Our hand does not tremble,” he launched, on July 25, on RTL, evoking the presentation from the start of the September school year of a law to lift “all the” legislative reservations preventing the expulsion of the territory of delinquent foreigners. But, Thursday, August 4, the Minister of the Interior finally indicated in Le Figaro that the examination of the text was postponed. It will be replaced by a “great debate” organized on the subject in Parliament, in October, preceded, “from the end of August and in September”, of a “consultation place Beauvau with all the parties, the social partners, the associations and representatives of civil society “. It was only after, probably at the end of 2022 or early 2023, that a bill will be presented. The person concerned specifies that he thus acts “at the request” of the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne.
reframing an overly in a hurry? This is what some people want to believe in the majority. “He left too early, too fast!” Observes a pillar of the presidential party, according to which Darmanin did not “understand” that the new composition of the assembly “was likely to make him lose on all fronts”, then that he will find himself trapped between a right and an extreme right likely to judge the text “not firm enough”, a “standing” left and a “fractured” majority. This Renaissance deputy recalls that it is on the sovereign subjects that Macronie is most divided. However, what was “manageable” during the first mandate, with an absolute majority, would be – according to this same source – much less with a relative majority. “For Darmanin, it is a setback,” notes an adviser to the government, while the Minister of the Interior is forced to return to what he himself announced.
For Elisabeth Borne, faced with the ambitions of the heavyweights of her government, to whom the succession of Macron in five years already gives wings, this postponement is a means of placing his authority. The SOS-Racisme association hastened to read this announcement as a welcome “a crop” on the part of the Prime Minister. “Elisabeth Borne printed her mark on the parliamentary agenda, also rejoices the president of the Law Commission, Sacha Houlié (Renaissance), from the left wing of the majority. She aligned himself with the three priorities French people: purchasing power, environment and security. This last subject is more important than immigration. “
