Forfeiture: the government and the PS deputies agree – Le Parisien

To ease tensions, Valls met Wednesday afternoon PS deputies. Have they been successful? The president of the Socialist group in the Assembly Bruno Le Roux has in any case announced about 17 hours there was “more misunderstanding with the government” on the formulation of the application for revocation of citizenship, and estimated that a “vast majority” of members would vote PS constitutional revision.

The government, he said, raised “the misunderstanding on the prohibition of statelessness,” which was present in the draft implementing legislation and that caused a strong reaction PS deputies on Tuesday. According to them, this meant that the forfeiture could only apply to de facto binational.

There would be no majority in the PS group to vote reform deprivation of nationality without such modification of the reference to dual nationality.
