“Dual citizens with a ‘fiche S’ [indicator used by police to flag individuals believed to pose threat to national security] will be deprived of their French  passport… and sent back to their home countries,” Le Pen said at a rally in Lyon presenting her presidential election program, as quoted by the Challenges magazine.

 

Le Pen’s program also stipulates restoration of national borders, exit from the Schengen zone, reestablishment of customs offices.

 

With regard to counterterror fight, Le Pen suggested forbidding all organizations in any way linked to fundamentalist Islam, closing mosques designated by the Interior Ministry as tied to the extremists and forbidding foreign funding for places of worship.
