Editorial: Le Monde

• Immigration legislation has been turned into a dangerous tool of power acquisition strategies.
• The disregard for the Constitution and rule of law in France is astonishing, especially coming from its President, Emmanuel Macron.
• Lots of clauses from the immigration bill have been declared unconstitutional, including 40% of its original articles.
• While some controversial measures survived, many of the right-wing politicians' additions have been censured.
• The acts of censure were not based on detailed discussions, but on the lack of connection to the original bill.
• Both the government and right-wing politicians have tarnished their reputation due to affiliation with the far-right.
• The left has not been spared either, due to their apparent lack of ideas and refusal to participate in debates.

Conclusion: The lack of true respect for democratic principles and rule of law has left a shadow over all those in power, giving hope to those who wish to dismantle such principles and rights.
