According to the government, the article, which was adopted by a show of hands last night in the National Assembly, is the cornerstone of a law for a state in the service of a trustworthy society. <br/><br/>The law is part of reforms President Emmanuel Macron touted during his electoral campaign to allow citizens to make a mistake in good faith in their dealings with the authorities without risking punishment from the first infringement.<br/>
