Vive les peuples, Vive la Republique! Vive la France!

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

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

Everybody should be able to choose according to his own values and history, within a European civilization that we all belong to.

I think a lot of people are trying to scare immigrants. But in reality, they have nothing to fear. You know, people who behave need not worry. Foreigners in France who hold a job, who respect our laws, our codes, have absolutely nothing to worry about.

I do not support Putin against Europe. This is a caricature. I support a federalist Ukraine. The EU poured fuel on the fire by proposing an economic partnership to a country known to look half to the East and half to the West.

I know very well that the political classes have spread fear among the electorate: Without the euro, the sun will cease shining, the rivers will stop flowing, we will enter an ice age.
