| 00:00 | I am with millions of French people who are complaining about a president who is harming the French people. | |
| 00:05 | I condemn without any ifs or buts every episode of hooliganism and violence, | |
| 00:10 | a counter-protest… justly, (by) farmers, truckers, workers and teachers… | |
| 00:15 | When restaurants are wrecked or police officers are attacked, | |
| 00:18 | they become criminals. |
We need a Salvini in the UK!
He sounds perfectly reasonable.
