Front National leader proposes moratorium on long-term visas and tax on hiring foreign workers

Marine Le Pen has claimed she will “protect France” with a vow to suspend immigration and defend the country against the threat of “savage globalisation”.

“We are not a free country if we cannot control our territory,” Ms Le Pen told RTL radio.
