Immigration: Sarkozy, EU needs to protect itself
Or walls will be built, warns French president
(ANSAmed) - PARIS, APRIL 5 - "A society without frontiers is a society with no respect. A country without borders is a country without an identity. A continent without frontiers is a continent which will have to raise walls to protect itself. Help me to construct a strong France". These are some of the words contained in the letter which the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, running for re-election to the Élysée Palace on April 22 and May 6, will send out to the French people.
Contained in the missive which is being handed out at the press conference attended by Sarkozy in Paris, the current President points out that "in democracy there's nothing better than the love for our country" The letter, which will be printed in six million copies and delivered throughout the whole of France is made up of thirty-four pages divided into small chapters. Among the priorities set out by Sarkozy is the need to "live in security in an open world", but also taking a zero-tolerance stance against the "ideologies of hate". The latter being a clear reference to the recent tragedy in Toulouse and Montauban carried out by the young Islamic terrorist Mohammed Merah. With regards to Europe instead, Sarkozy adds, "it's an open continent but at the same time it cannot become a colander".
