"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this issue has the merit of having brought great hypocrisy to light.
The only government within the European Union that has an interior minister from a party which you define as populist is the one that has had the courage to implement the most humanitarian measure: giving 25 000 Tunisian people permission to move freely. This is because we saw in the flesh that they were not 25 000 criminals, but people who had fled Tunisia. It was an emergency, we had to face it with common sense and we have tried to help.
This shows a truth, namely that in many situations the real ‘goodies’ are us, the ‘baddies’. We who affirm the need to control immigration and external borders, continue to beg Europe – as Mr Cohn-Bendit has rightly done – to spread what might become 50 000 or 100 000 refugees across its territory, because the people who flee Libya are not criminals.
These are the clear words of a movement which defends territory and identity, which is against immigration because it does not want people to be uprooted, and which condemns racism and xenophobia but also hypocrisy."@en1
