Sarkozy threatens to pull France from Europe visa-free zone
President Nicolas Sarkozy threatened in a key election rally Sunday to pull France out of Europe's 26-nation visa free zone unless the European Union does more to keep out illegal immigrants.
Sarkozy, who this week said France had too many foreigners, made the threat at a mass meeting which he hopes will turn the tide against front-running Socialist Francois Hollande with just 42 days to go before election day.
The so-called Schengen passport-free zone must urgently be overhauled to fight the flow of illegal immigration, said the right-wing leader, returning to a constant theme in his bid for five more years at the Elysee palace.
