leaders. are on the minute by. the european union which is the not elected by anybody. it's none democratic. power and i want to restore democracy in france i want the president a new president can be sure to decide for french people to restore. to restore a fight against unemployment to. decide for to control down would mean like you know all over the country world except europe european union countries. if europe is going so long spain greece italy france is this because of the poor or has been shared between many

authorities. the poor is the. separately there is no. global policy we lost our capacity i believe to change things so the french people is very upset because nothing change i can pick an example of security we have no any more control or borders. you know border. control so our arms are in a free country there is minimal in the south of france because we don't control how border since ten years it's not possible in russia you control your borders not in france anymore i want friends to control this territory does that mean you what france to be isolated if you want that kind of sovereignty for

your country and know we can be free to work with the whole friends. gerrymander. swedish people all of us know you. guys know europe indian is no europe and it's open as a word. i want just friends to restore the suffering i want french people to decide for himself. in a highly goal i had many successes when he decided france decide for herself based on what you're saying do you want out of the euro or do you want out of europe out together for me europe to change europe i like europe france is not able to do alone everything i want to cooperate i want this europe but they want i don't want a europe where there is twenty percent and we are not

nearly like in soviet union before they broke in the same mind they know for people. never been elected. they are often curriculum. as they are under inference of financial interest then they decided we think it's not possible anymore and now you're arguing against study evils of the free market so to speak but the world has moved forward in terms of globalization don't you think it's a bit too late at this point that it's moved to progress forward a little too much to take that step backwards as the world is globally is that there is globalisation but you know corey corey. well his yard jap and argentina brazil. open of the world but the

defense and self. russia has its own policy and the never accept the russian people will never accept that its interests its own interests can be decided by somebody outside the country will do nothing that france benefited at all from the free market i am not against the free market i am again. the free market with a system which is forbidden to defense of self i am not against free market but. in the free market we need to have a strategy it couldn't extract something strategy and france has no strategy france is going to say we cannot do anything because we need to ask brazil but always brazil nobody. you we never accept the russian people and we

never said it would be different like we are from here also for withdrawal from mates are you not worried that in the future should france need any help you may not be able to rely on your current partner simply do so i agree to be iran's right will i want to stay. but i don't want to see how force under american will decision we have zero interest in africa for example i don't want to be in afghanistan suck because he sent its troops in afghanistan it's a failure it's a dramatic failure i want my point decided we're goo in charge actually god was a great president and he refused to go in iraq. he refused and he was right. i want to be free as a people french people to decide where we want to go and i am against the

size different system it's a crazy thing i know you agree with. we are we are all on. this regime. and we need to keep it and i am against this american defense in size i think we have to work with. because the. we are very complimentary between russia france germany and we are to work together to stabilize the european continent i'm just looking at your background here were a part of the system so to speak you're a babbar of the union for a popular movement or you were in the ruling party so what does that say about your credibility you're now denouncing the system that you were part of that at some point or no i was elected i was my birth and i always fight this treaty i fight your system with philip. i fight the european

constitution and we won the french referendum in two to five so i was always in the same so i tried in the system to change the system. i tried to say people french people we should resist we should have to all in policy i could not do it in system so. we're in it for students for friends. i can accept them. and leave left this party and create in my party now let's talk about what happened in it to lose a gunman had killed seven people there he is of an immigrant background what do you think this is that it represents it's real prison then jerk but i was the island kid for ten years. so the french government we need to control our borders so

you're saying it's a problem of immigration no it's a problem of security because you have many french people who are coming from misname country were very climb. the tree yard so many soldiers and they're going strong who died and they were from the immigration so there is no problem of feeling. if we other states control things but i don't accept that. in the immigration system there are some people who don't respect the french role and these people have been. exposed. to for instance their control but the government did nothing in ten years and now they discover the program so we need to integrate people with friends and we need to say. we don't respect to go back and talk to people from the french suburbs many of them feel that they are

rejected by the system many of them are from immigrant backgrounds and all feel part of france how do you propose to address this problem of course because because unemployment in the school which is not enough. for them stretched an improvement but school when you have the result. we need to go to the french people we don't need to separate people and we need to control our borders to restrict immigration of course but just to clarify we are talking about integration here saying that it boils down to dealing with unemployment and education of course not not that we can accept immigration when you have a job in your country you can accept me question if you as a if you have a good school you say to young people you are french and you are going to the french but. if the school is not good is there is no drug it's crazy to

accept more and more people it's not a question of people it's a question of what you do in your country it's a question of balance i need to balance let's talk about the french elections do you think that voters now in france are gearing towards the more extreme on the political spectrum perhaps getting tired or disillusioned by some trysts ideas and therefore are looking to the far left or to the far right of course of course because if the government did in thirty years socialist problem right probably always the same policy the european bill quickly. saw french people say we're going to the rest extreme a fixture in right in me. as a system but i am saying to french people we can create. a political force which is not the extreme we can reject we can reject the system but we can

do. it now is the grit put into google do this it's possible you don't need to go to extremes to change france we can change french battery would sneak in reasonable thanks very much the answer to your for your time. something lies beneath. thousands of meters of ice and rock. the love of all that is a lure for many. but
