That is a detail" 1987 * "It's artificial to bring foreign [football] players here and baptise them the French team, though I could think of other names for them. They put an Algerian in to please the Arabs, a Kanak who can't even sing the National Anthem, blacks to satisfy the Antillais. None of them has any place in a French team" (just after France's defeat in Euro 96) * "When immigrants generate unemployment, crime, disorder and unbalance, the French have a right to fear for their lives" 1997 * "To say that different races are unequal is not racism. The world is naturally made up of hierarchies" 1996 * "[Immigration] is the biggest problem facing France, Europe and probably the world. We risk being submerged" 2002 * Abolition of the European Commission and the Maastricht, Schengen and Amsterdam treaties. * Revival of the franc, to operate alongside the euro. * Re-creation of trade barriers with EU countries. * Abolition of the 35-hour working week. * Creation of new family and education allowances for French families only. * National preference for French farm produce. * Separation of French people's health funds from those for foreigners. * Ban on building of mosques in France. * Reintroduction of the death penalty. * Places for 200,000 new prisoners to be created. * Foreigners convicted of a crime to be deported. * Juvenile delinquent repeat offenders to be put in special centres. * Referendum on state of emergency to combat crime, giving the President power to rule by decree.
