". This report, aimed at ‘organising’ immigration and promoting ‘integration’, is a classic of its kind, coy about the causes, blind as to the consequences and completely dictatorial as to the solutions to be applied to these issues. In the face of an ageing European population, matched by a continuously low birth rate and a forecasted decline in the active population of around 20 million between 2005 and 2030, the rapporteur, as a right-wing Member but also as the leader of an ‘anti-racist’ organisation, plans to introduce additional immigration, which will penalise our economy and weaken our national cohesion. With its aim of ‘building an intercultural society’, that is to say, one organised around ethnic or religious considerations, European policy is out of touch with social and economic realities or the experience of minority groups and is potentially a source of conflict. In order for immigrant groups to be integrated, they must show a greater desire for this to take place and make the necessary efforts to assimilate. The European demagogues choose to overlook the need for a boost to the European birth rate and for a family policy worthy of the name and the urgent need to adjust our labour market to demand in order to curb unemployment. Finally, the report fails to address the issue of a radical form of Islam taking root on our soil, with all of the consequences that that entails for women’s rights, security and democracy."@en1
