Duplomb Law, PLM, detention centers... The government faces the Constitutional Council's axe this Thursday
This Thursday at 6 p.m., the Sages will deliver their decisions on three texts that have sparked very lively debates in recent weeks.
By Ludwig GalletThis is something to liven up the summer. While many French people are enjoying their summer holidays, the last few weeks have been very studious on Rue de Montpensier in Paris, where the Constitutional Council is located. The Sages were consulted on three of the most controversial texts adopted in recent weeks: the reform of the voting system for municipal elections in Paris, Lyon, Marseille (PLM), the Duplomb bill, but also the bill proposing to extend the maximum period of administrative detention for foreigners deemed dangerous.
The Constitutional Council will deliver its decisions on all of these texts this Thursday, August 7. It will also rule on the texts relating to Mayotte , which are, however, significantly less sensitive. The government knows that it has a lot at stake in this affair. Censorship, even partial, of such sensitive texts would inevitably be perceived as a profound repudiation. This is particularly true of the method employed by the executive, namely the choice to focus primarily on proposed laws (initiated by parliamentarians), rather than on draft laws (initiated by the government).
