“Contrary to what the left’s relativist ideology says, for us all
civilisations are not of equal value,” he told a gathering of
right-wing students.
“Those which defend liberty, equality and fraternity seem to us superior
to those which accept tyranny, the subservience of women, social and ethnic
hatred,” he said in his speech, a copy of which was obtained by AFP.
He also stressed the need to “protect our civilisation”.
The left denounced his speech as an attempt by Sarkozy’s camp to woo
supporters of rival candidate Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Front ahead
of a two-round presidential election in April and May.
