Overview
- On October 30, the Rassemblement National is using its parliamentary niche day to debate seven texts centered on immigration and national identity.
- One resolution seeks to denounce the 1968 Franco‑Algerian accords, which the interior minister, Laurent Nunez, recently defended as functioning.
- The RN bill to reinstate a criminal offence for irregular stay drew LR and Horizons support in committee, while Renaissance opposed it and blocked its adoption there.
- The proposed penalties include a fine of about €3,700 and a possible three‑year ban from French territory, reviving a sanction removed by the 2012 Valls law.
- Legal analysts note European law significantly narrows the scope for recriminalizing irregular stay, even if the Assembly advances the measure.
