France’s interior minister offers to quit after crushing defeat on immigration bill

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:23:10 GMT

PARIS — French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin offered to resign on Monday after his controversial immigration bill was rejected by the National Assembly, but President Emmanuel Macron refused to accept it.The rejection of the bill on the first day of debates in the lower house is a crushing defeat for the government, after over a year spent negotiating and fine-tuning its details. The legislation, which has already passed a vote in the Senate, aims to speed up the deportation of foreigners who have committed crimes on French soil and includes measures to legalize undocumented workers in some cases.Darmanin conceded a defeat for the government during an interview with the TF1 channel. “It’s a failure, of course, because I wanted to give police officers, gendarmes… and judges the tools to defeat illegal immigration,” he said.On Monday, Macron asked Darmanin to submit “new proposals to move forward by overcoming this blockage and obtaining an effective ...

The EU considers the plan “illegal under international law,” he said.Earlier this month, the U.S. informed Israel that Washington would impose visa bans on Israeli settlers engaged in violence ...
