Barely dispatched to the budget sequence, the government is determined to engage on measures “Order and authority”what he can opportunely defend Thursday with the examination at the assembly of a text aimed at hardening restrictions on the right of the soil in Mayotte.
The bill, carried by the right and supported by the executive, should also allow the left to display a found unit, after strong strategic differences on budgetary texts. Censured by rebellious France but negotiated by the PS, the state budget should be definitively adopted in the Senate on Thursday morning.
At the same time, the Républicains initiative (LR) on Mayotte, examined during the day reserved for the texts of this group, will be combated by socialist and rebellious deputies, for whom the subject touches the “Republican principles”.
On the other side of the hemicycle, the national rally should support it, even if it criticizes a measure of « bricolage » Faced with immigration from neighboring Comoros.
Since 2018, an exemption from the right of the soil already exists in Mayotte, which restricts the possibility of becoming French for children born on the archipelago: one of the parents must have, on the day of birth, been present in a way regular in France for three months.
The text of the Republicans proposes to expand this condition to “Two parents”and to extend the necessary duration of their regular presence on the territory to one year.
“The objective is to remove access to soil law for illegals”argued the boss of the deputies LR Laurent Wauquiez at a press conference this week. “Then, for us, the idea is to extend these restrictions to the rest of the French territory”he displayed.
Prime Minister François Bayrou said himself favorable to a restriction of soil law in Mayotte, but not in mainland France.
The bill had been developed before the passage of the devastating Cyclone Chido on the archipelago. But he rekindled the debates on immigration to the department, faced with populations living for many in very vulnerable habitats during such disasters.
An emergency law on reconstruction in Mayotte must be definitively adopted in Parliament quickly, and another more ambitious law is provided for in the spring.
“Compliant copy” you rn
The text carried by the LR Philippe Gosselin is “Welcome” et “Very intelligent”according to the macronist deputy Mathieu Lefèvre, because he sends “A strong signal” Without requiring constitutional modification – unlike total deletion of soil law.
Its adoption will however depend on the mobilization of deputies of different edges.
If those of the coalition supporting the government are “Little represented” in the hemicycle, unlike those of the left, “It could cause a difficulty”a reconnu M. Gosselin.
Another possible obstacle: time. A « niche » Parliamentary reserved for a group must end at midnight.
Now LFI has deposited several dozen amendments, which it intends to defend “Until exhaustion”with “All of the second and minutes available to us”to the AFP leéed Ugo Bernalicis.
“I don’t know if it will be enough to prevent the vote from being held. But if the vote was not held, it would really be a victory ”he added, regretting that the PS and the environmentalists did not join LFI on this strategy.
Whatever happens, the time spent on Mayotte will be as much less devoted to other proposals provided by LR for the day: in particular a text aimed at “Priorifying workers” In the allocation of social housing, suspend family allowances to parents of delinquent minors, or another aimed at capping the cumulative RSA and personalized housing aid (APL) at 70% of the minimum wage.
A program taxed of “Compliant copy of the texts of the national rally” by deputy PS Arthur Delaporte.
