French President Emmanuel Macron has been given the “kiss of death” by far-right leader Marine Le Pen after his party was forced to make concessions on a divisive new tough immigration bill.<\/p>\n

The French parliament approved tighter legislation designed to strengthen the country’s ability to deport foreigners considered “undesirable”.<\/p>\n

With Mr Macron’s centrist Renaissance Party not holding a majority in the National Assembly, it needed help from Ms Le Pen’s hard-right National Rally group to win a vote 349 to 186 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Ms Le Pen described the legislation as an \u201dideological victory\u201d for her party trumpeting the new bill as backing for her party’s aim of “national preference” when making immigration decisions.<\/p>\n

French media said the intervention of Ms Le Pen’s party to get the new bill over the line was a “kiss of death” for Mr Macron.<\/p>\n

Hugh Schofield, the BBC’s Paris Correspondent, described Ms Le Pen’s move as a “coup” as she appeared to take the lead on an issue close to the hearts of many in France.<\/p>\n

He wrote: “Unable to steer its original version of the immigration reform through parliament, the government had to accept a number of tougher changes forced on it by the mainstream right.<\/p>\n

“Swallowing the harder-line version of the immigration law was bad enough for many in President Macron’s centrist Renaissance Party and its allies.<\/p>\n

“What became unendurable was the coup pulled by Ms Le Pen as the vote in the National Assembly approached on Tuesday afternoon.”<\/p>\n

Mr Schofield added that “out of the blue” Ms Le Pen said she was happy with the new tougher legislation which she said was due to pressure from her own party.<\/p>\n
