I am out. I decided not to run a couple of months ago. There is so little that one can do. It's not really an open parliament. For example, during the pandemic, there was a contract between the European Union and Pfizer. And as a member of parliament, the first mission that we have is to control the type of contract that we've done. We couldn't look at the contract. They were edited.

So we don't know who signed what. It is definitely not a democratic practice. So the European Union is a very opaque system in which very little can be done by so-called member of parliament. It is not real parliament. It looks more like, I don't know, some kind of joke.

Yes, some people are trying to look at history in a positive way. For many, many years, the main point of legacy media and a lot of politicians is a culture of the excuse. You know, we were bad. We have been doing terrible things. We did slave. Not looking at the fact that slaves were, you know, there are multiple ways in which slavery existed, not just

is the western europe making taking slaves and bringing them to the states uh we are bad because we we had a great culture and we impose this culture all over you know we we coca-cola is like america europe so we impose coca-cola in china this is bad so the way we have looked our culture for the past 30 to 40 years is being ashamed of it

And what the movement that we can see right now, especially with younger people, is that they want to understand it better and they want to be proud of their culture. And we have many reasons to be proud of our culture. We have brought amazing things to civilization. And when you look at history, you cannot just look at the good things, but you definitely cannot just look at the bad things.

It's a movement. And I strongly believe that it is an amazing progress that the Western civilization made for humanity. We introduced so many great things. And I believe this began with Christianity. So this is something we also have to reconcile ourselves with. Our civilization begins with Christianity. So this is also something that makes Europe feel very uncomfortable.

We have a very different relationship with religion and God than we do have in the US. We talk about laicity all the time, but we don't feel comfortable with it.

But you know, I have an anecdote. The first time I met with Steve Bannon, it was in England, not the first time, but among the first time, and it was filmed. And he asked me if I could do the blessing for the lunch we were having. And I reacted as a French politician. I was like, oh no, I cannot do that. It's on TV. It's just like, we don't do it.

So I told him, you know, it's not part of our culture. And I think this is something that we have to be proud of who we are. And this was a mistake on my part. I think that it is something normal that people can do if they feel comfortable doing. God and religion cannot be excluded from politics. It is also part of it. And I think you have a healthier way of looking at it in the U.S.
