France’s lower house of parliament on Tuesday passed a government bill tightening rules for immigration, despite a rebellion within the ranks of President Emmanuel Macron’s governing party after it was backed by the far right.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told reporters that the “strong text” had been adopted with a sufficiently large majority of 349 for and 186 against, and that the far-right votes in favour were not needed for it to pass. The upper-house Senate had earlier also passed the legislation.
