On Tuesday evening, the French Senate passed an immigration bill that would significantly restrict asylum and deportation policy in France. But despite the passing, it is already proving to be a controversial topic, both because of its content and because Macron may once again be forced to use Article 49.3 to force the bill through the National Assembly. But can this immigration bill once again send the protesters to the streets, or can Macron with his deep unpopularity see it through?

    The media on purpose deceive saying the stabber was Russian (in fact muslim Chechen). Try calling a Chechen Russian to their face😂 it’s a republic in russia with ethnic muslim chechens, who tried in the 90s to gain independence. Very destabilised region and criminal. They continuously stirred problems with jihadist extremists and separatism, then they were bought by Putin (Kadyrov was bought). The region where enormous federal funds go just so that they can keep a semblance of peace and not be too criminal or extremist. Also, they’re awful to women. In general, muslims (many immigrants) in russia harass russian women and girls, it’s very widespread, most women know. Countless stories from girls i knew
