The government finally decided not to present a new version of its immigration bill in July but to rely on its text already on the Senate desk for a review after the senatorial elections, announced Gérald Darmanin. In an interview with Le Figaro posted online Friday evening, the Minister of the Interior ruled out the possibility that the government would present a new text in July, as had been envisaged.
When asked about the status of the “draft of a new text” to take account of LR’s requirements, he replied: “The government proposes to resume the text as it had been discussed and amended by the Senate Law Committee. “I discussed this subject with the President (of the Senate Gérard) Larcher. »
It had been mentioned for a time that the government would draw up a new text to be presented to the Council of Ministers in July in order to take into account the demands of the Republicans and then obtain their support in Parliament. But one thing doesn’t seem to be changing: the timeline for Senate consideration of such a bill, after the September senatorial elections.
