French far-right leaders, including Jordan Bardella and Éric Ciotti, express fears of an imminent refugee wave following the potential downfall of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. They urge the European Union to act preemptively against the threat posed by Islamist extremists potentially infiltrating the refugee flow. This contrasts with recent reassurances from Islamist factions aiming to calm minority populations in Syria, fueling hopes for the safe return of refugees to their homeland.
