The French Constitutional Council suspends the toughest measures of the Immigration Act
- The bill provides for 86 measures that have been repealed 32, such as obstacles to family unity and the crime of irregular stay. The law was passed with the thrust of the right end.
Since the new Immigration Act was adopted by the French National Assembly last December, dozens of discussions have been opened on the measures envisaged by the bill. But on Thursday the French Constitutional Council rejected the most controversial measures in the new Immigration Act. In total, it has condemned, totally or partially, 32 articles, more than a third of the total legal.
Among the measures rejected are, inter alia, barriers to family unity; the crime of irregular stay; hardening access to social benefits; the obligation to pay a bond for being foreign students; or restrictions on the so-called “land right”.
Earlier, the National Assembly rejected the first government reform proposal, and now the media has been given the decision to censor the rule “for the new changes driven by Macron”. In fact, Macron “did not get the majority needed to be admitted at first.”
Immediate reactions
Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, said in a first reply that he applauded the Constitutional Council “taking into account the entire text promoted by the Government”. He adds that a text has never included “so many means to expel criminals”.
The extreme right, however, does not share the view that the Constitutional Council has “favored” Macro and the other forces that make up the government. National Union spokesman RN, Jordan Bardella, has described the decision of the Constitutional Council as a “coup of the judges” and said that Macron is guilty of what happened.
