“A small law with small measures which improve the situation a little bit, we can vote for it,” explained Marine Le Pen, in the show “Sunday in politics” on France 3. The leader of the National Rally (RN) deputies did not exclude on Sunday that her group would vote in favor of the immigration bill if its article on regularization of undocumented immigrants is deleted, while judging that it will not resolve “the problem of illegal immigration”.
“There are some measures which improve the procedures a little,” she considers, responding in the affirmative to the question of whether the possible withdrawal of article 3 of the bill could allow her group to vote in favor of the text. This is the article most contested by the right and the far right, which should make it possible to regularize undocumented foreigners working in professions in shortage.
She doesn’t believe in 49.3
“Our government is completely incapable of not only managing illegal immigration, but the truth is that there has never been as much legal immigration as under Emmanuel Macron,” she said. .
Marine Le Pen also considered that the government, forced to resort numerous times to article 49.3 of the Constitution to have texts adopted in the Assembly without a vote, “should note that in the situation in which it is, it should come back to the polls.”
“When we find ourselves in a situation such as this, we proceed to dissolve the Assembly,” she judged, while saying she was convinced that Emmanuel Macron would not resort to it “because “he knows he would come out of it weakened.”
The immigration bill arrives in the Senate chamber on November 6. It should then be scheduled in December on the Assembly’s agenda.
