Laurent Fabius comes out of silence. Questioned on France 5, the President of the Constitutional Council considered the questioning of institutions following the decision of the Wise Men to censor 40% of the text of the immigration law to be “very worrying”: “To say that it is a coup d’état , not only is it false, but it calls into question the institutions.”
The President of the Constitutional Council, Laurent Fabius, raised his voice on Friday evening by deeming the "questioning of institutions" "very worrying", while the Sages are under fire from criticism from the right and the extreme right after the broad censorship of the immigration law.
“To attack the Constitutional Council for a decision which is perfectly legal and to say” that “it is a coup d’état, not only is it false, but in a certain way, it is a questioning of the institutions. And so I find that very worrying,” he reacted on France 5, questioned about comments from Laurent Wauquiez (LR) who had criticized a “legal coup d’état” on the part of the Council.
