President Emmanuel Macron's government is in crisis after opposition parties united to defeat a key immigration bill.

MPs from right-wing, left-wing and moderate parties voted on Monday to reject the bill.

The left argued that the measures were too oppressive, while the right said they were not tough enough.

After the defeat, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin offered to step down. Seeing it as a hardship on immigration issues, he had strongly supported the bill. The government argued that the bill would control immigration and better integrate immigrants.

The bill would have made it easier for the government to deport immigrants who have been sentenced to prison terms of five years or longer and would have made it harder for immigrants to bring family members to France.

However, it was significantly lighter than a draft proposed by the right-wing Senate that would have severely reduced access to health care and benefits for immigrants.

Before the vote, Darmanin said that, if passed, the bill would allow the government to deport "highly dangerous" foreign nationals, including drug dealers.

But his efforts to persuade opposition MPs to support him failed when different factions voted for a motion to reject the bill.

MPs from the far-right National Rally joined with those from the far-left, right-wing Republicans and smaller parties to defeat the government by 270 votes to 265.

Before the vote, Arthur Delaporte, an MP for the Socialist Party, said his party would vote against the bill as it was "unfair, scandalous and a threat to freedom".
