"A quarter of deputies from Renaissance and its allies refused to vote for the bill because they could not bear the accusation that they were doing the hard-right's bidding. One minister resigned. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne - who was originally a Socialist - is putting on a brave face but is obviously deeply troubled."
