Immigration bill, weather alert and austerity in Argentina

Did you miss the news this morning? We have put together a summary to help you see things more clearly.

It’s the big day for Gérald Darmanin. His immigration bill arrives this Monday in public session at the National Assembly. But this entry into the arena of the Palais Bourbon could ultimately only be a simple lap. It is in fact not certain that the deputies will debate the text since a motion for prior rejection has been tabled.

If it passes, it would be a snub for Élisabeth Borne and her Minister of the Interior. While the suspense is still high this morning over the outcome of the vote, 20 minutes explains everything about this legislative tool that gives the executive a cold sweat,

Part of France will still have to deal with the consequences of bad weather this Monday. Gironde was thus placed this morning on orange “flood” alert. This level already concerns 5 other departments: Corrèze, Dordogne, Deux-Sèvres, Savoie and Haute-Savoie.

The orange “rain-flood” vigilance triggered on Sunday is maintained in 3 departments: Isère, Savoie and Haute-Savoie. The rainy periods will sometimes be sustained, particularly in the Alps where the accumulations will be significant. Snow will fall above 2,000 m.

Ultraliberalism is now the ruling doctrine in Argentina. Elected on November 19, Javier Milei officially became president on Sunday, announcing an inevitable “shock” of austerity. “There is no alternative” because “there is no money!” “, he told several thousand supporters outside Parliament, where he had just taken the oath. “We know the situation will get worse in the short term. But afterwards we will see the fruits of our efforts,” he added.

Third largest economy in Latin America but mired in chronic inflation, at 143% over one year, and 40% poverty, Argentina is therefore preparing for painful adjustments.
