Transcript:

00:00		French, wake up! You are here in your country!
00:24		We are in our country!
00:48		For Marion: hip hip hurray!
01:08		Marion! Marion! Marion!
01:12		My dear friends,
01:28		I want to thank
01:32		the mayor of La Tour-d’Aigues for respecting his promise concerning this rally.
01:44		So, Jean-François, if you can hear me, I thank you for
01:48		honoring your word!
01:57		My dear friends, the main square of Grambois being too small,
02:01		we are gathered, in large numbers in the neighbor town
02:05		of La Tour-d’Aigues. And I insist on thanking its mayor
02:09		for giving us the permission to gather in his county,
02:13		when at the same time the old sirens of the left wing
02:17		of Vaucluse, called for banning of…
02:25		…when the old sirens of the left wing of Vaucluse were calling for
02:29		the banning of our rally.
02:33		In fact the borough secretary of the communist party
02:37		believed she had the right to demand that the prefect forbid our gathering
02:41		of patriots…
02:49		…under the pretext that we could become,
02:53		and I quote: “a threat of disturbance to the public order”.
02:57		No less!
03:01		Madame Allouis, because this is her name,
03:05		allow me to serve you this
03:09		thought of La Rochefoucauld: “Hypocrisy is a tribute that vice pays to virtue.”
03:21		Because the left wing
03:26		is expert in the field of disturbing the public order…
03:30		Illegal occupation of public space and exclusion of those who don’t think like you do
03:34		During your famous “nights of sleeping while standing” [leftists rallies].
03:38		Destruction of property [unintelligible] and shop windows during rallies,
03:42		[unintelligible] Violence against
03:46		the police force, when it’s not straightaway an attempted murder
03:50		with Molotov cocktails during those rallies.
03:54		Violence, degradation
03:58		and intimidation of the population
04:02		of Calais, perpetrated by your allies “no borders”.
04:06		And just yesterday this extreme Left,
04:10		the lesson giver, marched in Saint-Etienne to demand,
04:14		and I quote: “the disarmament of the police force.” Yes, you heard correctly!
04:22		“The disarmament of the police force”, all while this rally
04:26		was forbidden by the prefect, and police officers
04:30		are rallying everywhere in France to show their discontent, or even to show
04:34		that enough is enough, before attacks [against them] becoming more and more violent,
04:38		that they are victims of every day now!
04:42		Police with us!
04:46		Police with us! Police with us!
04:58		So today, my friends, the left wing is attacking the Front National
05:02		saying that it would be a threat to the public order.
05:05		It’s as if a hospital were mocking charity [pot calling the kettle black].
05:11		My friends, what unites us today isn’t hate of the other and of the institutions,
05:15		but on the contrary: it is love of Provence,
05:19		rich in her traditions and her legacy.
05:23		It is our love for a sovereign France, master of her own destiny.
05:27		It’s the right of free speech.
05:31		We are in our country!
05:35		It’s an imperative duty to denounce this politics of immigration,
05:39		absolutely crazy, led by a government at bay,
05:43		by a president massively rejected by French people,
05:47		and a dictatorial European Commission,
05:51		that works against the sovereignty of nations.
05:55		We are in our country!
06:07		Our movement isn’t directed against those illegals
06:11		who opportunistically…
06:15		…who opportunistically take advantage of our weaknesses,
06:19		of our riches and of our inability to control our borders.
06:23		If they are on French territory today,
06:27		it’s because someone at the highest level wanted to let them in.
06:31		Our adversaries are those who are politically responsible,
06:35		as much from the left as from the right, corrupt,
06:39		many of them with Qatari and Saudi money,
06:43		little concerned by our national interests, by our identity and by our sovereignty.
06:49		This activist, militant left, where cynical manipulators rub elbows with useful idiots,
06:56		have been busy for the last forty years rewriting the most beautiful pages
07:00		of the national novel, wanting at any price
07:04		to separate us from our Christian roots, from our thousand-year-old tradition,
07:08		and from our sovereignty, the guarantee of our freedom.
07:12		Long live France!
07:16		Freedom! Freedom!
07:28		This moral left (lesson giver),
07:32		using the methods of the Inquisition, decides,
07:36		in the name of the values of the Republic, who is good and who is evil,
07:40		with, as a sad result, a France on the brink of a civil war.
07:44		Finally, those besmirchers of memories, obsessive destroyers
07:48		of the national unity, which was hard earned and paid for in blood,
07:52		and whose terrible price is shown
07:56		in a macabre way on the memorials in our towns and villages.
08:04		But we have to be fair and recognize that this left —
08:08		Let’s recognize this left, and more particularly
08:12		in our department [county, borough], that they were advancing openly,
08:16		that they showed their true colors. The mayor of La Tour-d’Aigues
08:20		won’t contradict me on this point. When it was about
08:25		a vote to put to use the farm Bonpain
08:29		owned by the Borough Council of Vaucluse,
08:33		and being used by the illegals; or voting against the motion
08:37		“Our Department Without Migrants” presented by your representatives from the Front National,
08:41		the left clearly took a stand against the interests of French people.
08:45		With representatives from the right, known as republicans,
08:49		it was more complicated: they adopted
08:53		a more ambiguous attitude, if not dubious,
08:57		in abstaining, like some of them, or in voting for the provision of the farm
09:01		using the borough’s money destined for the lodging (others)
09:05		and voting against it, for the last ones. And it’s with inspiring courage
09:09		that they unanimously refused to participate in the vote
09:13		of the motion I just told you about.
09:17		Monsieur Chabert, the former mayor of Gorde and current
09:21		president of the Borough Council for the Welfare for the Aged, if it’s not
09:25		for the benefit of the electoral agreements, concluded with the socialists/communists,
09:29		who doesn’t miss an opportunity to remind them of good memories
09:33		and make them masters of ceremony in the organizing of the hypocrites’ ball.
09:37		Such is the ni-ni [leftist policy, meaning: neither privatisation, nor nationalization]
09:41		replacing the constitutional values in the actions of those people.
09:45		I see it as a proof of the latest declarations
09:49		by our [unintelligible] deputy of the 5th constituency, who
09:53		isn’t a fan the of subject of ni-ni; and I quote him: “When I don’t say ‘welcome’ to the migrants,
09:58		it’s not on the one side a nice representative, and the other an evil cold-blooded representative.
10:02		But this welcoming politics is stupid and short-sighted.” Monsieur Aubert
10:09		criticized last Wednesday, on radio France Bleu Vaucluse, the merits of our rally.
10:14		And I’m citing him again: “the freedom to rally exists,
10:18		but it’s agitation. We should rather look for
10:22		quiet solutions.” But what quiet solutions,
10:26		Monsieur Aubert? A cup of chamomile? An infusion of
10:30		medicinal herbs? You aren’t suggesting anything concrete:
10:34		[unintelligible] and a soft, weak hand as usual. Because you have to give to the rightist voter,
10:38		sovereignist and conservative, the impression that you are keeping a stiff upper lip.
10:42		And no, [unintelligible] he formulated a proposition
10:46		He remembers that Francis Adolphe, the socialist mayor of
10:50		Carpantras, invoked some weeks ago the alleged case of a catholic family
10:54		in his county, who wanted to welcome migrants into their home.
10:58		Julien Aubert estimated that, and I quote him: “Francis Adolphe took his idea
11:02		to lean on the civil society.”
11:06		Fine, but what are the agnostics and atheists,
11:10		Buddhists, Muslims suggesting? The majority of French who aren’t
11:14		Catholics in Vaucluse. Monsieur Aubert. Monsieur Chabert,
11:18		Monsieur Adolphe, Monsieur [unintelligible] are you ready to
11:22		welcome the illegals in your home? Alas, crickets.
11:26		Those beautiful souls are absent. Do what I say, not what I do.
11:34		And this good example is being provided by the highest level
11:38		of the state, since the president of the Republic answered the question:
11:42		“Would you let the immigrants use your secondary residence?”
11:46		He answered, with an outrageous cynicism: “I’m sorry;
11:50		they [my secondary residences] are already occupied.”
11:54		Definitely in this world of Tartuffes [hypocrites], generosity is good but with
11:58		someone else’s money. This is why we have to
12:02		enter into resistance, when faced with this moral and intellectual terrorism!
12:06		That elementary principle has to be strongly reinforced!
12:10		True charity begins with yourself! Our people before the others!
12:19		We are in our country!
12:27		We are in our country!
12:31		Let’s remind, let’s remind
12:35		all those yelling do-gooders that Vaucluse is
12:39		The sixth-poorest department in France,
12:43		that we have retired people who survive on misery pensions,
12:47		that we have an unemployment rate of more than 20%, that we live the consequences
12:51		of exponential immigration, that we have to close the hearths of radical
12:55		Islamists in a context of the highest terrorist threat.
12:59		No, do-gooders, sirs,
13:03		Vaucluse cannot afford your short-sighted generosity.
13:07		Vaucluse cannot handle it any longer!
13:11		Why such sudden ease in welcoming, feeding and treating
13:15		defraying the cost of individuals who entered our territory illegally,
13:19		when a number of our people
13:23		lack everything and don’t warrant anything anymore?
13:27		My friends,
13:39		My friends, we have to see the reality:
13:43		the Front National alone defends the interests of the people from Vaucluse
13:47		against those unjust policies causing social tensions.
13:51		Only your representatives from the Front National
13:55		have the courage to oppose the destructive forces
13:59		of the Politically Correct. Because the socialist government
14:03		has clearly announced who its enemies are.
14:07		Prime Minister Valls, yesterday in Tours,
14:11		fiercely warned the French people, I quote:
14:15		“Those who would oppose the welcoming of the refugees will find
14:20		the state blocking them.”
14:24		My friends,
14:28		The French people have the right to answer him:
14:32		Article 35 of the Declaration of Rights of Man:
14:36		“When a government violates the rights of the people,
14:40		insurrection is, for the people and for every part of the people,
14:44		the most sacred right and the most indispensable
14:48		of duties.”
14:52		My friends, this government and its representatives,
14:56		the enemies of French interests will have to expeditiously
15:00		leave the political scene in 2017.
15:04		The coming electoral deadlines will be critical for the future of our nation.
15:08		The choice is very simple:
15:12		it’ll be a beginning, or chaos. It’ll therefore be Marine [Le Pen]
15:16		as President and a Front National majority in the National Assembly.
15:20		Long live Vaucluse, long live France!
15:28		Marine for president!
