France’s lower house approved by a large majority on Sunday April 22,2018 a bill
that would tighten asylum rules after tense debates that created the
first cracks within President Emmanuel Macron’s party.
One member of Macron’s party, Jean-Michel Clement, voted against the bill and said he would leave the majority.
“I am not sure we’re sending to world citizens the universal message that has always been ours,” the lawmaker said in a statement following the vote late on Sunday April 22,2018
The French National Assembly voted in favour of the legislation by 228-139, with 24 abstaining.
Debates are due to follow in the upper house, the Senate, in June. The National Assembly will have the last word on the bill.
