(Radio France) French constitutional watchdogs have cleared the path for a new law aimed at countering Islamist extremism.
Officially known as the law comforting the principles of the republic, the draft law was approved in parliament in July.
But around 100 MPs raised doubts over whether the law could come into force and called on the Constitutional Council to give its verdict.
On Friday, the council modified only two of its provisions as it gave the green light to the bill. The council’s decision means the bill can become law.
Gérald Darmanin, the interior minister, who introduced the bill, tweeted that it was excellent news for the Republic.
