– (FR) Mr President, obviously I am not against the litanies of fine sentiments, incantations and pious wishes that are dominating this debate, but I cannot really see in them the kind of objectivity I believe is necessary to understand a phenomenon that has so abruptly come to occupy our minds – so abruptly, moreover, that we are not taking the trouble to work out the ins and outs of it, the causes and the consequences.
– (FR) Monsieur le Président, je ne désapprouve, certes, pas les litanies de bons sentiments, d'incantations et de vœux pieux qui dominent ce débat mais, enfin, je n'y vois guère le recul qui serait à mon avis nécessaire à la compréhension d'un phénomène qui occupe brutalement nos esprits.
