Questioned by AFP, an adviser to the executive said that there would be "no immigration text debated in the Senate" next week as was initially scheduled. The government and the majority are now planning a "shorter bill and several bills", i.e. texts tabled at the initiative of parliamentarians, he added.

Announced for months, contested by associations for the defense of exiles, shouted down by the left and deemed very insufficient by the right and the far right, the text that began its journey in committee in the Senate last week, was to be debated from Tuesday in the hemicycle of the Luxembourg Palace dominated by the right-wing opposition.
