 French lawmakers will vote Tuesday on a tough new counter-terrorism law designed to end the country`s two-year state of emergency, though critics say it will expand police powers at a cost to civil liberties.

French lawmakers on Thursday approved a law aimed at preventing elected officials from recruiting their family members as part of President Emmanuel Macron`s "moralisation law" after many fake job scandals tainted politics in recent months.

French lawmakers voted massively Wednesday to extend a state of emergency as President Francois Hollande said that a call to boost reserve forces had paved the way towards a "National Guard."
