Emmanuel Macron speaks. This Wednesday evening, the head of state gives an interview on France 5 in the program C à vous, relocated, for the occasion, to the Elysee. The meeting comes at a time when the majority is deeply divided after the adoption of the immigration bill on Tuesday evening. The text was toughened compared to the initial will of the executive and voted for by the deputies of the National Rally, while 59 elected representatives of the presidential camp voted against or abstained.
