The promulgation of the immigration law by Emmanuel Macron: a step towards a stricter migration policy
The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron recently promulgated the immigration law, marking a new stage in the country’s migration policy. This decision comes after months of debate and tension within French society.
The immigration law provides for several measures aimed at tightening access to social benefits, establishing annual migration quotas and tightening the criteria for family reunification. However, the Constitutional Council censored several provisions of the text, sparking criticism from the right and the far right.
In fact, the Sages have revoked 35 articles of the law, for both legal and substantive reasons. This rejection was seen by some members of the right as an attack on democracy, accusing the Constitutional Council of having committed a “legal coup”. The attacks on the decisions of the Constitutional Council have provoked contrasting reactions in the political landscape. While some denounced these criticisms as a challenge to institutions, others stressed the need to respect legal decisions.
The promulgation of the immigration law marks a turning point in the debate on migration policy in France. For some, this law responds to a request from the French population to reduce immigration, while for others, it reflects a discriminatory and restrictive policy.
What will be the consequences of this law on migrants and French society? Only the future will tell us. In the meantime, this promulgation raises questions and continues to fuel debate in the country. It is essential to stay informed and discerningly analyze the different positions on this complex and sensitive issue.
In conclusion, the promulgation of the immigration law by Emmanuel Macron constitutes a significant step in the country’s migration policy. This decision follows heated debates and partial censorship by the Constitutional Council. Political reactions are contrasting, with on one side accusations of a “coup d’état de j’état” and on the other calls to respect legal decisions. The implementation of this law raises many questions and fuels the debate on migration policy in France.
