I can't blame Angela Merkel for saying she wants a strong euro.

The Americans are trying to expand their influence in the world, particularly in Europe. They are defending their own interests, not ours. I am in favor of a multi-polar world in which France once again takes its position as the leader of non-aligned states, not with the US, not with Russia and not with Germany. One should strive to be neither slave nor master.

My warning is: Be careful Angela Merkel. If you don't see the suffering that has been imposed on the rest of the European people, then Germany will make itself hated.

We have millions of unemployed and cannot afford any more immigration. Where are they supposed to live? It is not viable.

Everyone has the right to practice their religion, to worship as they choose. My war is against Islamic fundamentalism.

Whenever I hear people utter anti-German sentiments, I say: You can't blame Germany for defending its own interests.

Manuel Valls is popular because the others in the government are unpopular. Interior ministers are always popular because they give people the feeling that they are taking care of security, even when they are just people with tough words and a soft hand.
