    • Abstract:
      The article describes three French events: the visit of Pope John Paul II for the commemoration of the baptism of King Clovis; the storming by the gendarmes of a Paris church filled with immigrants; and, the repeated proclamation by Jean-Marie Le Pen of his belief in the "inequality of the races. All these events have greatly effected the political conditions in the France. Freedom of movement is limited to capital and forbidden for labor. Scapegoating immigrants may be a transatlantic and Pan-European phenomenon, but need Paris pander to those who want the tricolor to be monochrome. Le Pen, the European champion artificially links economic crisis with immigration.
