lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are discussing the clauses on respect for human rights that the EU imposes on the countries with which it deals. So be it, but before we go looking for the speck in our neighbour's eye, should we not remove the plank from our own? For example, in my country, France, as in the rest of the EU, the tyranny of political correctness is becoming completely intolerable. In theory, you can say what you like about mass immigration, but if you oppose it, you are condemned for incitement to racial hatred. If, as happened recently, you mention the islamisation of Alsace, even as an elected representative, you become the target of disgraceful condemnations that only reflect badly on those who made them. In theory, you can say what you like about contemporary history, but, in practice, you can only do that provided you comply with a Communist-inspired law, otherwise you risk being imprisoned. For having contested this law during a political press conference, I myself have lost, at least temporarily, my post at the University of Lyon. If you say you prefer natural families to homosexual partnerships, you risk being condemned once again, as a member of the French parliament from the majority party found out recently. A mayor does not have the right to give a fellow countryman preference over a foreigner when allocating social housing, nor can an individual give this sort of preference in any field. I could give you more examples. Every group, every lobby, every minority and every deviancy has developed its own methods of pressurising, intimidating and persecuting the majority, with the active or passive complicity of the authorities. In these circumstances, ladies and gentlemen, before we impose on our partners a clause that you seem to interpret completely unilaterally, we would do well to start by putting our own house in order."@en1
