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

France isn't burkinis on the beach. France is Brigitte Bardot. That's France.

Germany has become the economic heart of Europe because our leaders are weak.

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.

Massive immigration brings with it cultures that are sometimes in contradiction with our values.

The French want to regain control of their own country. They want to determine the course of their own economy and their immigration policies. They want their own laws to take precedence over those of the European Union.

To be honest, there are many things said about Russia because they have been demonized for years at the behest of the USA. It is part of the greatness of a European country to develop one's own opinion and to not view everything through the US lens. We have no lesson to teach Russia if we concurrently roll out the red carpet to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and China.
