substantial deletion, n.b. re immigration repatriation targets and role of Cimade----Clive Sweeting 24 Aug 2009

"traitor" - source needeed[edit]

Besson, who is a former Socialist, has just said, in front of an immigrant audience, right in the middle of a Muslim suburb next to Paris:

"France is neither a people, nor a language, nor a territory, nor a religion, it's a conglomerate of peoples who want to live together. There are no indigenous French, there is only a France made out of miscegenation."

Remarkable to say the least. Some Frenchmen are saying he's a traitor to the French people. I am sure we could find a source for it.

The quote is mentioned here - along with the fact that Besson later retracted his "conglomerate of peoples" comment, claiming that he was merely making a historical reference to Gaulish times, to pre-unification France. Hmm. As for the use of the term "traitor"... I'm French, and I've never heard Besson called a "traitor to the French people". A few right-wing extremist loonies may call him that, I suppose, but in general he's called a "traitor" by the left for having so thoroughly embraced the right and its dogmas. He's called a "traitor" because he's seen as an opportunistic, career-minded politician. Aridd (talk) 13:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article clean up[edit]

Hello,

I've noticed that this article (a) needs to be updated, (b) contains lots of unsourced/badly sourced information (eg. Daily Mail), (c) contains information that therefore violates Wiki's biography regulations as well as WP:NPOV.

I will start updating and expanding this article, and remove information in violation of WP:NPOV and WP:ALIVE.

As always, I'm open to comments, suggestions, hints. Soulman78 (talk) 08:30, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
