the government negotiates step by step with the right before

National Assembly

– Sacha Houlié (Renaissance): the president of the Laws Committee will also be at the head of the CMP. A former socialist, who became one of the figures of the left wing of the presidential camp, he worked to rework the Senate text, considered too right-wing. While being careful not to go too far.

– Florent Boudié (Renaissance): the deputy for Gironde, also a former socialist, is the general rapporteur of the text. A specialist in sovereign subjects, he has the delicate mission of preserving the unity of the majority around the text. In committee, he was working to rewrite the senatorial version of the measure on the regularization of undocumented workers.

– Marie Guévenoux (Renaissance): this former member of François Fillon’s presidential team is part of the Macronist right wing. Member of Parliament for Essonne since 2017, she is currently “quaestor” of the Assembly, responsible for managing the finances of the lower house.

– Elodie Jacquier-Laforge (MoDem): the centrist is co-rapporteur of the bill on the section aimed at “ensuring better integration of foreigners through work and language”. This MP from Isère, vice-president of the Assembly, defends a “balanced” vision of the text.

– Annie Genevard (LR): the deputy for Doubs is a figure of the LR party, of which she is the general secretary. She had chaired the party interim before the election of Eric Ciotti. She calls for a return to the much more repressive version of the text adopted in the Senate.

– Yoann Gillet (RN): deputy for Gard since 2022, he fights the text, “an amplification of migratory submersion” and wants “a referendum on immigration”. Aged 37, he was a member of the UMP before joining the National Front (now RN) in 2009.

– Andrée Taurinya (LFI): she considers this law “inhumane and racist”. Aged 60, the MP for Loire is a teacher by profession and has been with LFI since its creation in 2016. She is a former member of the communist youth and the Unef student union.

Senate

– Bruno Retailleau (LR): the boss of the LR senators insisted on sitting in this CMP which is crucial for the future of the text. Former disciple of Philippe de Villiers, the senator from Vendée, beaten by Eric Ciotti for the presidency of the party in 2022, has been in charge of the first group of the upper house since 2014.

– François-Noël Buffet (LR): the president of the Law Commission is the strong man of the senatorial right on immigration issues. The report that he signed in May 2022 on the subject largely informed the bill, with Gérald Darmanin referring to it many times.

– Muriel Jourda (LR): co-rapporteur of her group on the bill, the senator from Morbihan was on the front line during the resounding senatorial commission of inquiry into the Benalla affair.

– Philippe Bonnecarrère (UC): mayor of Albi for nearly 20 years, the senator from Tarn is co-rapporteur for the centrist Union, an ally of the Republicans. He included centrist demands in the text, in particular on the regularization of undocumented workers in professions in shortage.

– Marie-Pierre de La Gontrie (PS): the socialist senator from Paris, former deputy of Bertrand Delanoë at town hall, tried as best she could to resist the senatorial majority during the debates in the High Assembly, where the left is minority.

– Corinne Narassiguin (PS): just elected senator of Seine-Saint-Denis, the Réunionnaise quickly made her mark at the Palais du Luxembourg, the socialist group entrusting her with the defense of a large part of its amendments on the bill .

– Olivier Bitz (RDPI): former sub-prefect, ex-deputy mayor of Strasbourg, ex-member of the PS, it is as a senator… Macronist from Orne that the elected official will sit, the only ally of the government among the seven senators. The Alsatian was elected in September under the banner of the presidential majority.
