The main proposals in this report bring into question three fundamental values of the European democracies.
‘Positive action’, which is the European Parliament’s version of the ‘positive discrimination’ dear to Mr Sarkozy, breaks with the principle of equality between citizens of the same country. The measures proposed, such as ‘priority access’ to certain professions, constitute discrimination against our countries’ nationals, who do not have the opportunity to have immigrant status.
The ‘involvement of … non-citizens in elections’, that is to say foreigners’ right to vote, destroys the very principle of nationality.
The desire to give the same rights to homosexual as to heterosexual couples in all the Member States amounts to demanding the right for homosexuals to marry and to adopt children. If this demand were met, it would shatter the foundations of the family, which is the basic unit of any society.
Alert it may be to the fate of immigrant populations and homosexual couples, but this report has not a word to say concerning scandalous forms of discrimination:
discrimination suffered by tens of millions of honest people who are the victims of insecurity because they do not have the opportunity to live in protected parts of their towns;
discrimination that, in France, deprives the millions who vote for France’s National Front of any representation in Parliament."@en1
