French opponents of immigration staged a rally recently at Versailles to protest the opening of a new asylum center. They were successful in persuading the local prefect to abandon plans for the center, but the project has simply been moved to another location not far away.

Transcript:

02:01 Good evening ladies and gentlemen, Versailles is rallying against immigration

02:05 on Friday. For the third time in less than two months, hundreds of people congregated

02:09 in the Place d’Armes, in order to oppose the establishment of a camp of illegals in their county

02:13 of Rocquencourt, in the Yvelines… The municipal council of the opposition group

02:17 Versailles-Family-Future, Fabien Bouglé, denounced the

02:21 desire of the socialist authorities to change civilization.

02:25 We are here on a symbolic date,

02:29 November 11th, the day of the commemoration of

02:33 the end of the WW1 (1914-18). Our ancestors fought

02:37 with courage, with their hearts and a love of their country.

02:41 Was their blood spilled for nothing?

02:45 Were their lives sacrificed for nothing?

02:49 And should they be forgotten pages of history?

02:53 Does their sacrifice make no sense whatsoever

02:57 for our country and our children?

03:01 It’s NO, NO and NO!

03:05 We are proud of what our ancestors transmitted to us,

03:09 a country that we love, whatever our origins,

03:13 our beliefs and our convictions. We are

03:17 today in a symbolic place, here

03:21 in front of the Palace of Versailles on the Place d’Armes.

03:25 It’s an intersection of history: regimes, tragedies, greatness.

03:29 It is a synthesis of our common culture,

03:33 which began with the baptism of Clovis,

03:38 which was immersed in the Declaration of the Rights of Man, which has seen wars and revolutions.

03:43 We are republicans or royalists, right or left,

03:46 Christian or not, but we are here because we love our country

03:54 and its greatness, and we simply don’t want to be invaded! We are

04:02 citizens in concord. We have to say it clearly

04:06 and calmly: we do not want a change of civilization!

04:10 Our civilization is beautiful.

04:14 Here we have no tradition

04:18 of burning our houses when we leave them.

04:22 Here our women don’t have a choice between being veiled or raped.

04:26 Here we love wine and pork.

04:30 Here we are in a Christian land!

04:34 Even if not all are Christians.

04:38 Here we insist on our identity,

04:42 on our generation and the generation of the

04:46 re-establishment of our cultural and civilizational identity.

04:50 That’s the way it is, and that’s the way it’ll always be!

04:54 Also, we have gathered here today in order

04:58 to remind the elected authorities

05:02 and the government employees that they are here to SERVE US.

05:06 Frédéric Pichon, deputy president of the sovereignist movement CIEL

05:10 pointed a finger at the strategy of the globalist oligarchy.

05:14 We aren’t heartless, and I agree with Valérie D’Aubigny when she says

05:18 that. It’s important, because the globalist rabble

05:22 are trying to use a weapon of mass destruction. And that weapon

05:26 is guilt. They are trying, in fact, to make

05:30 guilt weigh heavily on your shoulders

05:35 by disseminating, in the media moving photographs,

05:39 like the picture of the little Aslan, to try and

05:43 guilt-trip Europeans. And I think we don’t need any morality lessons

05:47 from oligarchs without scruples . Because in reality, behind those

05:51 crocodile tears a much more obscure reality is hiding.

05:55 Because without even reaching for any conspiracy theory,

05:59 pretending there are people allegedly meeting in a

06:03 secret salon wearing aprons and balaclavas; I don’t believe

06:07 in this vision. However I believe that there is a vision, that there is

06:11 a global convergence in the direction of the destruction of peoples and their identities,

06:15 and this, I believe, is being done in a methodical, organized way.

06:19 The president of the Political Freedom Association, François Billot de Lochner,

06:23 returned to semantics, which the politico-medial caste is trying to instill

06:27 in our minds. I would like return to the notion of

06:31 “migrant”, to tell the political, economical and social,

06:35 moral and cultural authorities that there’s no “migrant”:

06:39 there are immigrants, who are legal or illegal.

06:43 There are no “migrants”: there are immigrants,

06:47 legal or illegal. The legal immigrants

06:51 Number 200,000 a year. Because of Schengen,

06:55 the doors are open, [the numbers] should usually be: zero.

06:59 We need therefore to immediately review

07:03 and abolish Schengen treaty.

07:07 Voilà, concerning the legal immigrants.

07:11 Concerning illegals, Alain Juppé [Republican party candidate for president]

07:15 is the only person who doesn’t know how many enter France every year.

07:23 Because during the debate the other day he had no numbers,

07:27 so I tell him: he has to write it down and learn by heart

07:31 200,000 [people], probably, already in 2016.

07:35 It means there are 400,000 people

07:40 who will enter this country in 2016 and to whom we can offer

07:44 neither shelter, nor food nor work, and the majority of whom

07:48 doesn’t speak French and aren’t of our religion.

07:52 It’s a case of a state scandal.

07:56 It means that every year we have a town like

08:00 Nantes growing in France next to France.

08:04 Therefore now we have to use

08:08 our weapon of mass destruction of the system

08:12 in place, which is the elections of 2017.

08:16 We really won’t let go of anything in May 2017,

08:20 and we will make sure that France wins. Thank you.

08:24 As for the president of the movement Republican Resistance, Christine Tasin

08:28 invited the inhabitants of Versailles to dismantle the camps for illegals.

08:32 We are the people, as we already said,

08:36 but we are different and all united.

08:40 From right and left. Christian-

08:44 atheist. Royalist-republican.

08:48 We are united against

08:52 the greatest danger that we’ve witnessed

08:56 in dozens of years. And this is fundamental.

09:00 This is why we are going to dismantle those migrant camps, no matter whether they agree or not!

09:08 The threat is

09:12 the extinction of our civilization. Because

09:16 the peril that those migrants bring with them is Islam.

09:20 And Islam is terribly destructive.

09:24 It’s them or us. There is no other solution.

09:28 Where are they,

09:32 the Christian refugees from the Orient?

09:37 Where are the Yazidis, who are

09:41 being sold into slavery, sold, used as sex slaves.

09:45 They [government] don’t talk about them. They don’t care about them.

09:49 They only care about single men who arrive alone in order to

09:53 re-populate France and make millions of Muslims

09:57 whom we don’t want! Finally, former general Christian Piquemal,

10:01 dishonorably discharged for taking part in a rally in Calais against

10:05 mass immigration, went back to the reasons of the discomfort among law enforcement.

10:09 Since the first attacks in 2015

10:13 police officers and gendarmes were engaged on all fronts.

10:17 Alas, the ad-hoc testimonials that were

10:21 given at that time, especially in January,

10:25 created emotions, but haven’t brought anything else. And they are already

10:29 far away. In this [unintelligible] context

10:33 that we know, and while the considerable efforts

10:37 had been denied for several months, the police officers

10:41 feel today, and they told me this clearly,

10:45 a true lack of gratitude on the part of the authorities and

10:49 their hierarchy, with a feeling of being abandoned.

10:53 Those are even stronger than the lack of the gratitude

10:57 that they usually experience. But even more:

11:01 it’s now the authority of law enforcement that has

11:05 seriously retreated, mainly because since 2012

11:09 the state authority has deleted itself,

11:13 as they retreated, made concessions, and lacked the firmness of authority.

11:17 Simplified, we are finding out that

11:21 a big part of regulatory functions of the state aren’t

11:26 performed at all, or are performed very badly.

11:30 Such a deficiency, of course, generated unbearable consequences

11:34 for law enforcement, that not only have the feeling

11:38 that they aren’t respected, but they also see every day

11:42 their physical merits affected. One of the delegations

11:46 of the protesters was received on Friday afternoon by the Borough Prefect

11:50 The project to establish the illegals in Louveciennes in the Yvelines seems today

11:54 have been abandoned, but it’s switched to Rocquencourt.
