France Plans New Immigration Bill Amid Political Disputes
The French government proposes a new immigration law for 2025, sparking debate over its necessity and motivations.
- The proposed bill seeks to extend the detention period for certain foreign nationals from 90 to 210 days.
- Government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon argues the bill is necessary for enhancing national security.
- Critics, including former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, question the urgency of a new law when the previous one is not fully implemented.
- Left-wing politicians accuse the government of pandering to the far-right by proposing stricter immigration measures.
- Rassemblement National leader Jordan Bardella expresses cautious interest but remains skeptical of the government's commitment to action.
