French President Francois Hollande backtracked on a constitutional amendment proposal that would strip dual nationals convicted of terrorism of their French citizenship, France 24 reported. 

The president said he would not push ahead with plans to change the constitution, including a clause allowing convicted terrorists to be stripped of their French nationality, after parliament failed to agree on the measure.

"Parts of the opposition have been hostile to a revision of the constitution. I deplore this attitude," Francois Hollande said after a weekly cabinet meeting. "I have decided to end this debate," he added.
