This was the most of any EU nation, followed by Spain at 39,318 applications, and typically first-place Germany following in third place at 37,387.

This represented a 41 per cent decline for Germany compared to the same time period last year. Meanwhile, France is on pace to see a three per cent increase over 2024 if the first quarter trend continues throughout the rest of the year.

From the time Macron came into office until 2023, the number of first-time applications from asylum seekers jumped by 89 percent.
