The Senate majority to the right, grabs Wednesday the desired constitutional review by President François Hollande after the November attacks and should rewrite the controversial section on deprivation of nationality terrorism, which could result in the failure of reform.
After six weeks of rifts within the left, the national Assembly had chosen February 10 to open the forfeiture to all French guilty of terrorism to not create discrimination even if de facto binational alone could be affected.
But the Law Committee of the Senate proposes that the decline can affect a person “with a nationality other than French nationality “, thus placing black and white banning create stateless.
the senators, who will vote on the text on 22 March should follow the example of their president, Gerard Larcher (LR) for which the creation of stateless persons is a “red line.” However, the entire Senate will vote against the left.
On Tuesday, Manuel Valls said he hoped that the Senate will “gradually put agreement to reach a common drafting” of the provision on the deprivation of nationality for terrorists.
“the terrorist threat has never been present. All over the world and of course in France. the terrorist threat today is even bigger, heavier before November 13th. So we must always remember what happened, “argued the Prime Minister.
” I hope the Parliament, the national Assembly, it s did, and the Senate is that we are able to come together on both the fact that entrenches the state of emergency and that we agree on the idea of forfeiting nationality “for terrorists, he said.
” the Senate does not block “the draft constitutional revision, always provided Gérard Larcher judging be a Congress that” a consolidated text “is found with the Assembly
– ‘A maximum shuttle’ or stop? –
But the boss of senators PS, Didier Guillaume, it must be limited to “a maximum shuttle” Assembly-Senate because “it can not last another six months,”
“the text released in commission n ‘ is not acceptable for us, “warned his side Jean-Marie Le Guen, State Secretary for Relations with Parliament.
for the president of the RS Parliament, Christian Jacob,” the Senate returned in committee a text line with the spirit of Congress, “but” if the president and prime minister are unable to hold their own majority, that’s their problem. “
the formula Senate on forfeiture “appears closer to me the pact of 16 November (at the Congress in Versailles) and the proposals of the President that the proposals of the national Assembly,” said for his part the chairman and rapporteur of the Committee on Laws Philippe Bas (LR).
But for the PS deputy Patrick Menucci, this rewrite “is a way for the Senate right to aim, quite unusually, some of our fellow citizens will feel stigmatized. ” “It is a text which is unacceptable and will not be accepted by the National Assembly”.
With regard to Article 1 of the draft constitutional revision, which aims to enter the system of state emergency in the basic Law, the Senate Committee stated in particular that the measures under state of emergency should be “narrowly tailored, necessary and proportionate,” recalled the competence of the judicial authority and reduced from four to three months maximum period of extension of the state of emergency by law.
“in this part, we could reach an agreement with the Assembly. on forfeiture, it seems much more hypothetical” predicts François Zocchetto, President of centrist senators
