(Connexion) Nice will not allow Afghan refugees to settle, mayor Christian Estrosi has said, because the city has suffered due to Islamic terrorism in recent years.
When asked on RTL if Nice would welcome refugees, Mr Estrosi said: “No, no, it’s very clear.”
Instead, he called for international cooperation and a “migration policy with quotas.”
He said: “I am ready to be involved in international politics. The power takeover by the Taliban is a threat to security in the western world. And there is a new wave of Islamic terrorism with the rebuilding of Al-Qaida.”
Yet, he said that he would not welcome refugees in the city, and called for mayors to have the power to protect their own areas.
