Several European countries have frozen asylum requests from Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
This is also the case for France, announced this Wednesday the resigning Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau.
France is following suit. Several European countries, including Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom, have decided to freeze asylum application procedures for Syrian nationals since the fall of Bashar al-Assad. France, which was thinking about it, imitated them, announced this Wednesday the resigning Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau. “It already is”he said on BFMTV.
“Many European countries share our policy”
“Imagine that the executioners of Bachar al-Assad want to retreat to France and demand a right of asylum”justified the former boss of Les Républicains senators. “It is out of the question. The French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (Ofpra) has taken this decision, like a dozen other European countries, and I think it is important.”
“For the moment, our services do not believe that the terrorist threat has increased”continued Bruno Retailleau. “We are very vigilant and cautious. I also look at the migratory threat. Many European countries share our policy.”
