While it has recently estimated that Salafism was being “ win the ideological and cultural battle ” of Islam in France, Mr. Valls believes in a long passage devoted to secularism and the place of Islam in French society must be “ protect [Muslims in France] Salafist ideology “. He told “convinced” of the opportunity to demonstrate to a majority of French who questioned the compatibility of Islam with the Republic.
“ Today , secularism is facing the rise of radical Islam but also to the place of Islam in society. I wish we were able to demonstrate that Islam great religion in the world and second largest religion in France, is fundamentally compatible with the Republic, democracy, values, equality between men and women , “said the Prime Minister. “ A majority of our citizens question, but I’m convinced that it’s possible .”
Also, he insists, “ must protect our fellow Muslim faith or stigma culture, anti-Muslim acts . ” While these acts affect mostly veiled women, it maintains that the veil is a servo “when it is claimed politically militant way” . He reiterated his belief that “ should ” prohibit the veil at university but recognizes that this would conflict with the constitutional principles.
Asked about the aspirations of the youth participating the protests against the law El Khomri it believes it has “ the legitimate feeling that the company is not concerned about her (…) giving the feeling to be more concerned about older” . But he insists, “ I’ll never let say that we have done nothing for the youth since 2012. On the contrary. Never much has been done in education, training, housing, access to employment . “
In the wake of measures announced for school and university students he denies having submitted the plan “ to settle a dispute .” However, he acknowledges that “ must go further and create meaning for the whole youth. The movement expresses Night standing in his way, “. He admits also an error on the communication around the Labor Law that has not been made “ positively .”
On a political level, while had found “ absurd ” positioning “ right or left or ” movement launched last week by his economy minister, Emmanuel Macron, Mr. Valls believes in Libération that left and right can “perfectly forge pacts” , “without denying” their differences, and that “ on major issues it is perfectly possible to gather. ” “And from this point of view I am in tune with Emmanuel Macron. I still think that overcoming the partisan divide is needed “, insists Manuel Valls, who refutes the idea that the National Front thrives on the ” disappearance of the left-right divide “ .
According to the Prime Minister “ the left is strong when it is for everyone. That’s why she has to transcend. And that’s what we did, especially in the fight against terrorism . ” But Mr Valls is careful to emphasize that he has “ always left. What I want is an open society where everyone can make choices and not a closed society where one undergoes . ” And recalls its commitment to a “ farmhouse Republic, open and generous” .
As for the attitude of the left in the presidential election of 2017, it will gather around Francois Hollande, said Mr. Valls, otherwise “everyone will be swept” . It also considers that this election “ will not be a repeat of the previous with the classic confrontation between the right and the left. I do not only govern the winners and the losers resume their conference cycle or seated . “
Finally he closed the debate on the end of cannabis prohibition, reopened left by Jean-Marie Le Guen, the State Secretary for Relations with Parliament, which has called for “ very selective ban lifted .” “ Let there be debates is normal, is the Prime Minister. I am convinced, as President of the Republic, that any company should know set of prohibitions. I believe that the consumption of cannabis, because it has an impact on public health, must remain one. “
