François-Xavier Bellamy calls for return centers outside Europe

The vice president of Les Républicains and MEP reacted to the final vote on the return regulation Wednesday. He urges France to use the text to set up detention centers with third countries.

The return regulation was definitively adopted on Wednesday and applies immediately. It replaces a legal framework deemed dysfunctional after decades of failure and eight years of blockage.

François-Xavier Bellamy stated that member states can now create return centers outside Europe. This measure aims to end the blackmail by countries that refuse to take back their nationals.

The MEP urges the French executive to seize the text to fight illegal immigration.
