- the constitutional amendment has two main components: the entrenchment the state of emergency and the deprivation of nationality.
- After the Assembly, the Senate passed a different version of the article on the deprivation of nationality, making it therefore impossible adoption in Congress.
- Faced with this impasse, Francois Hollande had no choice but to announce on Wednesday, giving up all of the reform.
Francois Hollande gave up, Wednesday, March 30, after four months of controversy, to the extent that he called himself from his vows against the Congress in Versailles after attacks of November 13. “I decided to close the constitutional debate but I will not deviate from the commitments I made to ensure the security of the country” , said President of the Republic. It is abandoning the extension of deprivation of nationality to all binational and the entrenchment of the state of emergency.
A renunciation whose president has tried to shift the liability opposition: “part of the opposition is opposed to any constitutional amendment. I deeply deplore this attitude. “ He also wished to remind ” effectiveness “ of the state of emergency and the commitments that have been taken to increase police resources, the gendarmerie, the army, police, customs and correctional services.
Pressure parliamentarians
for twenty-four hours the different parliamentary actors have multiplied statements and gradually buried the hypothesis of a meeting of the Congress, even if the review was limited in Article 1 of the constitution for a state of emergency, one aspect of the measure that was consensus among the parliamentarians. Heated by a new attack of the first secretary of the Socialist Party, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis – “The ball is in the court of the right ‘ – the party leaders Republicans (LR) were the maneuver rejecting all day Tuesday the idea of a limited revision. “all this does not make sense, the state of emergency already works very well , explained in World Bruno Retailleau after the meeting of senators LR. We Francois Hollande face its responsibilities is its majority was divided, his minister who resigned, it is not our problem. “ His counterpart in the Assembly, Christian Jacob, has explained that it ” Congress minimum of no interest “.
History accentuate yet a little more pressure, Gérard Larcher, he sent a letter to the president asking him to renounce the Congress or hire a shuttle on the two articles as rewritten by the Senate. Expectantly, Bruno Le Roux continued to defend this revision while accusing the right. “Yes, we need this constitutional revision , explained the president of the Socialist group in the Assembly on France Info before accusing the right . The reason that can block today is a part, and I mean a party, the right does not want the president can claim a constitutional revision, even on issues that are key issues for our country and key issues. “
chaotic Trail
Announced at the Congress on 16 November by the President of the Republic, Article 2 of deprivation of nationality has suffered since it was announced a challenge to a part of the socialist majority. A notion has angered in particular. In the “constitutional bill Nation protection” , presented on 23 December the Council of Ministers, the extension of deprivation of nationality concerns only dual nationals. This serious text in the marble of the Constitution two classes of French, according to opponents, including the justice minister, Christiane Taubira, who eventually resigned on January 27. The same day, under pressure, Manuel Valls is then forced to propose a new draft before the Law Committee of the Assembly. This time, deprivation can affect all French and the government extends this penalty to crimes. The National Assembly finally adopted this version by 317 votes for, 199 against and 51 abstentions, on 10 February. The rewrite has reduced some Socialist deputies in the yes side (165 for, 83 against, 36 abstentions). “I do not doubt for a moment that the Senate will demonstrate the same responsibility” , said after the vote Mr. Valls to the press.
It was not counting on the desire for independence of the Senate and its right-wing majority. A maneuver, Gérard Larcher, Senate President Bruno Retailleau, president of the LR Group, and Philippe Bas, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, had repeated in the media that the creation of stateless persons is a “red line” not to cross. In committee, senators are reintroducing the concept of dual nationality by writing that the forfeiture “can affect a person sentenced definitively to a crime constituting a serious attack on the life of the nation and having a nationality other than French nationality “. This new text is adopted, Tuesday, March 22, by 176 votes for, 161 against and 11 abstentions. Between the majority of the Assembly restive to the concept of dual nationality and that of the Senate very attached to his text it considers closest to the speech of François Hollande before Congress, the synthesis was impossible.
