The French Constitutional Council annulled the most controversial parts of the immigration law, including the severest measures introduced by the parliamentary right.
The ruling was well received by the presidential majority, as it will allow the enactment of the law without the most controversial articles.
The ruling is technically legal but has significant political implications and could suggest a mishandling of the legislation.
The far right had regarded the law as an 'ideological victory', which led to discontent and resignations within Macron's majority.
The new government led by Gabriel Attal is faced with multiple challenges, including farmer protests and police discontent.
Social discontent in France is widespread, demonstrating a significant challenge to social cohesion.
Conclusion: The annulment of parts of the immigration law, widespread social discontent, and pressure on the new administration represent a complex political juncture in France that could have implications for the European elections in June.
