Jordan Bardella of National Rally proposed barring dual nationals from the most strategic state posts, triggering concerns of broader discrimination if the party gains power.
Marine Le Pen defended the measure by stating it would only impact a few strategic positions, with a list that could change based on geopolitical issues, causing further controversy.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin criticized the proposal, noting the existing vetting processes for sensitive positions make this exclusion unnecessary and divisive, undermining millions of dual nationals.
The left raised concerns that this measure accentuates sorting individuals based on nationality, heritage, or background, referencing a previous proposal by Le Pen to restrict dual nationals from certain jobs in France.
