French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday sought to restore unity to his centrist ruling party after the adoption of a tough immigration bill under pressure from the far right sparked an unprecedented rebellion within its ranks.
Following 18 months of wrangling over one of the flagship reforms of Macron's second-term, both chambers of parliament backed the controversial legislation on Tuesday, with Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) endorsing the bill in a move some called a "kiss of death".
