French parliament set for vote on controversial immigration bill
Briefly

"The French lower house of parliament was set on Monday to begin debating a bill seeking to tighten immigration rules criticised by both the far-right and hard-left in a major test for the government of President Emmanuel Macron."
"France retains its long tradition of providing asylum for all those whose rights are threatened in their own country, and we will continue to defend this right of asylum. To think that we can solve our contemporary problems by forgetting these rights, which are the very foundation of our Republic in France, but also of the very identity of our Europe, would be not just a political mistake, but a moral one."
