Overview

France's Constitutional Council invalidated more than a third of the articles in the controversial immigration bill passed by Parliament just before Christmas. This decision affected measures such as restricting immigrants' access to social benefits, difficulties imposed on family reunions and the criminalization of illegal residence. Although the court rejected these provisions considered more severe, there is the possibility of reintroducing them in future legislation. The protests against the law, which took place across the country, reflect the controversy surrounding its provisions and highlight the divisions in French society regarding the country's immigration policy.
