a referendum on immigration is no longer on the agenda

Emmanuel Macron and party leaders meeting this Friday, November 17, in Saint-Denis concluded that a referendum on immigration was not relevant in the absence of consensus on the subject, indicated several participants in the outcome of the meeting.

“There will be no referendum on immigration,” announced Marine Tondelier (EELV). “A consensus emerged around the table on the fact that it seemed complicated to expand the possibility of holding referendums on societal subjects such as immigration,” added Fabien Roussel (Communist Party). “The president is not currently considering this possibility,” said Jordan Bardella (National Rally), the only participant present to demand this consultation.
