Bardella articulated his vision for a significant shift in France’s immigration approach, proposing that citizenship should no longer be automatically granted to those born in France and advocating for the processing of asylum applications in applicants’ home countries. He criticized the EU’s current migration framework and called for reforms to the Schengen Agreement, asserting that the free movement of people should be limited to EU citizens only. Bardella’s remarks reflect a broader trend among European nationalist parties advocating for increased sovereignty in immigration matters.
