It is not necessary to be baptized to love Bossuet, Peguy, Bernanos, and Mauriac. It is not necessary to be Gaullist Malraux to love or love for Communist Aragon, is that national identity “, he stressed. “No ideologue can not understand that.”
“Deny this civilization is to opt out of the national community. France, it is not self-service. Assimilation is not a possibility, it is a condition for any long stay and any naturalization. “
lashing the” ideologues of multiculturalism “and” sociologists inequalities “, he described as” monumental error “having renounced assimilation. “Everything is missing,” he said. “The pride of living in France must find the way to school. Textbooks are not here to denigrate France. But to make it known and loved. In what country could accept that the school teaches anything other than pride? “” Refuse this civilization is to opt out of the national community, he said. France, it is not self-service. Assimilation is not a possibility, it is a condition for any long stay and any naturalization. “
