French President Emmanuel Macron has rejected the resignation offer from Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin following the rejection of the controversial immigration bill by the lower-house National Assembly. Macron has ordered Darmanin to find new ways to break the deadlock and push the legislation through. The bill, originally proposed by Macron's centrist government, aims to expel more undocumented people and improve migrants' integration.

However, it has faced opposition from the left and far-right parties. The rejection of the bill has caused speculation that the government may choose to trigger article 49.3 of the constitution, allowing it to pass legislation without a vote.
