""We can set up secure enclosed spaces to prevent this activity, which exists regardless of what we do, from taking place in extremely unsanitary and unsafe conditions," Bardella said in televised remarks Saturday."
""For me, this is a safety issue," said the 30-year-old politician and contender for president in France's 2027 elections."
""I think that closed premises are always better than slums in the Bois de Boulogne," a Paris district known as a crime hotspot, he added."
""We cannot say that the results have been extremely positive," he said, denouncing what he said was "hypocrisy on the subject"."
Jordan Bardella endorsed a proposal to reopen brothels in France, arguing that regulated enclosed spaces would protect sex workers from unsanitary and unsafe conditions. A National Rally lawmaker plans to submit a bill allowing brothels to operate as cooperatives run by sex workers. Brothels were outlawed in 1946, and prostitution remains legal while paying for sex has been illegal since 2016, shifting criminal responsibility to clients. Jean-Philippe Tanguy says the 2016 law worsened sex workers' daily lives. Bardella framed the change as a safety issue and criticized perceived hypocrisy.
