‘At the end of the day, we limit the damage’: After the ‘Wise Men’ verdict, the executive branch insisted on enforcing immigration law

Refusal ? What defeat? This Thursday, January 25, in the afternoon, barely had time to take the decision of the Constitutional Council, when reactions of complacency began to fall within the executive branch. As if the complete or partial censorship of 35 of the 86 articles of the immigration law adopted by Parliament in December was, in fact, just an epiphenomenon. It is as if also rejected and largely imposed by the right-wing measures (such as the establishment of migration quotas, restrictions on land rights or even restrictions on family reunification) were written off by the government.

The rest after this announcement

“At the end of the day, we limit the damage. We are even preserving a text that will allow us to act quite decisively against illegal immigration,” defends the Elysee Palace. “None of the provisions of the original text were found to be contrary to the Constitution. This means that we have worked seriously,” says Renaissance MP Florent Boudier, the bill’s general rapporteur in the Assembly.
