France will reduce the number of visas issued to people in North Africa because governments there are refusing to take back migrants expelled from France, the French government's spokesperson said on Tuesday.
The French government plans to reduce the number of visas given to Algerians and Moroccans by half, and to Tunisians by 30%, reports said.
Government spokesman Gabriel Attal said France decided to take action starting in a few weeks because Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia had refused to provide consular documents for their citizens being deported from France after arriving illegally.
