07:58: Minister of Health Aurélien Rousseau presented his resignation to Elisabeth Borne
The Minister of Health, opposed to the immigration law, handed a letter of resignation to Élisabeth Borne on Tuesday evening, who did not announce whether she accepted it, a ministerial source told AFP, confirming information from the Figaro.
Aurélien Rousseau, former chief of staff of the Prime Minister and in office since last summer, had made known his opposition to the version of the text considerably toughened by the right and finally adopted Tuesday evening in Parliament. Like Aurélien Rousseau, several ministers unfavorable to the bill, such as Clément Beaune (Transport) or Sylvie Retailleau (Higher Education), were received in the evening at Matignon, according to corroborating government sources.
