With Marie Le Pen about to be crowned, how is that going to help with the escape from an oppressive regime? The amount of virtue signalling is starting to feel a little bit forced at this point. The courts are pushing back appropriately, and the Senate is already starting to worry about the midterms. Resistance is the answer, and always has been. Fleeing is the second to last resort when resistance fails. Cornered survival fighting is the last resort. We are no where near that point.

  If Marine LePen is qualified for the second round the deferral of votes on are competing is virtually systematic "Republican Front". In 2002 this system gave a result of banana republic.

How the hell can he offer anything ?He is candidate for the election to come and even if he's elected this kind of law will need approval from senate and national assembly (read not likely to happen). Coming from Reuters this misleading title is a sad reminder of the state of journalism.

  Sorry: Cela n'est aucunement une loi "Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees" (Article 1(A)(2)) Le sénat et l'assemblé nationale n'ont pas leurs mots à dire. C'est des juges et des fonctionnaires qui statuent.

    Do you happen to have an English translation of your comment? The forum is overwhelmingly English; while we could use a service like Google Translate, it might be better if you posted a translation of which you approve.

      Don' t waste your time. It's french politics. And from now on I'll downvote anything promoting a specific candidate on HN as this is not the place to discuss about it.

        That of course is your perogative. While HN is not primarily for politics, sometimes the discussion is warranted, and certainly there's been a lot on Trump and Clinton over the past months. Personally I wouldn't want to dismiss it out of hand. Though, if the discussion persists in French I'd likely flag such comments.

      This is not a law "Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees" (Article 1 (A) (2)) The Senate and the National Assembly have no words to say. It is judges and civil servants who decide.
