French parliament okays divisive immigration bill

IndiaTimes Thursday, 21 December 2023
The French parliament approved a divisive immigration bill intended to strengthen France’s ability to deport foreigners considered undesirable, prompting a heated debate after the far-right backed the measure. The bill passed the lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, with a 349-186 vote late on Tuesday. It had previously been voted by the Senate. Interior minister Gerald Darmanin said the government wants “greater firmness against foreign offenders.” The bill still needs to be officially enacted into law.
