"Mr President, the burning cars in France have acted like a torch, revealing the presence of discrimination and social exclusion. And our hopes of reaching a swift, immediate solution to the complex social and societal problem that has triggered this lawless behaviour in the ghettoised suburbs of French cities have also turned to ashes along with those thousands of burnt-out vehicles.
Those who merely bemoan the material losses are testifying to their complete failure to understand what is happening and to see the relationship between cause and effect here. Rationally thinking citizens will be prompted to ask many questions, not only as a result of any threat to their material safety. They would be right to feel that the social equilibrium has been undermined, and that any communication or movement betweeen the different sections of society and ethnic groups has ceased. Moreover, this is far from being a question of law and order or an issue of public safety, and this is why it cannot be remedied using the customary instruments of law and order. The crisis is the result of bad decisions made as part of a bad policy. Third-generation immigrants, squeezed to the fringes of society, do not feel at home in their new homeland, they have no jobs and no goals to aspire to; they cannot see a future for themselves."@en1
