The second French revolution: Fillon says France must never become 'multicultural' and warns it is 'on the verge of revolt' as he vows to bring in 'radical changes' to society
French conservative politician Francois Fillon has said he doesn't want the country to be multi-cultural and promised 'radical' changes should he become the next president.
Fillon has been tipped to be the next president of France should he beat Alain Juppe in the Republican party's presidential primary on Sunday.
When asked whether he saw the future of French society on Thursday as multicultural the conservative firebrand said: 'the answer is no'.
'France has a history, a language, a culture, of course this culture and language have been enriched by the contributions of foreign populations, but it remains the foundation of our identity,' he said.
Fillon also rejected the suggestion that France is already a multi-cultural country.
'No, in any case it's not the choice we made, we did not make the choice of communitarianism and multiculturalism.'
'When we go to somebody's house, we don't try to take power,' said Fillon adding that immigrants must respect France's cultural heritage.
If Fillon beats Alain Juppe in Sunday's primary, he is widely tipped to become the next president with polls showing he would likely face and defeat far-right leader Marine Le Pen in the run-off next May....

Hopefully not just the pendulum, but the wrecking ball, is swinging backwards now.
