Overview

  • Lawmakers approved the RN-authored resolution 185–184, the party’s first text ever adopted in the chamber.
  • Support came from RN and its UDR ally, plus portions of Les Républicains and Horizons, while absences in the presidential camp drew sharp criticism.
  • The government underscored the resolution’s symbolic nature as Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu signaled a push to renegotiate the accord with Algiers.
  • Left-wing parties condemned the move as discriminatory and politically illegitimate, highlighting fractures across the Assembly.
  • The 1968 accord grants specific immigration and residency facilités to Algerian nationals; separately, an RN bid to reintroduce the offense of illegal stay advanced in committee with LR and Horizons but faces uncertain passage.
