France to step up border security after Nice attack — Macron

5 November 2020, 2:22 pm Edit

French President Emmanuel Macron says that he will step up border security in the wake of several terror attacks, including a knife rampage in a Nice church blamed on a Tunisian migrant.

During a visit to the border between France and Spain, Macron announces that the number of border guards would be doubled from 2,400 to 4,800 “because of the worsening of the threat” from terrorism.
