PARIS (Sputnik) — France is no longer safe as it is unable to fully control its borders, Marine Le Pen, president of the far-right National Front, the third-largest political party in France, said on Saturday following the deadly terror attacks in Paris.

"President [Francois Hollande] has declared a state of emergency and temporary border controls, and it is good. But, regardless of the European Union it is necessary for France to finally have the opportunity to control its own borders, as it used to," Le Pen said in a speech at the headquarters of her party.

On Friday evening, the deadly attacks occurred in Paris at seven different locations, including the Bataclan concert hall and the Stade de France stadium. They took the lives of at least 127 people and injured several hundreds.

Following the attacks, Hollande declared a state of emergency in France and closed the French borders, also ordering the mobilization of extra servicemen to ensure security and safety in the country.
