Positioning

Many media, among which Le Monde, the Nouvel Observateur, the Express train, France Info, Humanity or Release, of the private organizations treating of political questions in particular the whole of the French survey institutes such IPSOS, TNS Sofres or BVA, the principal news agencies like AP, Reuters and AFP, qualify Bruno Gollnisch of person in charge or leader “of Extrême right-hand side”. However, Bruno Gollnisch considers that the National front is current “national line”, and not a party of extreme right-hand side.

Although directing FN, Bruno Gollnisch has sometimes remarks which do not seem to reflect the line posted by the aforementioned party. Thus, on Sunday, August 28, 2005, last day of the summer school of the FN in Bordeaux, it qualified l'" antiracisme" policy of mental AIDS , which irritated at the same time the patients of the AIDS, " antiracistes" policies and, mezzo voce , certain members of the direction of the FN, worried by the presidential election of 2007 and all that would be likely to make obstacle with the future candidate, whatever its name. Bruno Gollnisch thus took again an expression made famous for Louis Pauwels, in a leading article remained famous of the Barber-Magazine dated December 6th, 1986, titrated “the Students' rag procession of the zombis”. Mr. Pauwels, however, had not used this expression in same optics: its leading article aimed at a youth which would have been, according to him, “reached of a mental AIDS” and “having lost its natural immunities”, quoting by name “the children of the weak rock'n'roll, the schoolboys of teaching vulgarity, the happy ones of Coluche and Renaud, and altogether, the products of the Lang culture” (the paternity of the expression is allocated to the director of Présent Jean Madiran). Mr. Gollnisch, as for him, relayed in that by the Daily newspaper French initially (daily letter of the FN on the Internet), took again on his account what it described as metaphor, considering that l'" antiracisme" policy would have become, according to its terms, “a true religion with its dogmas, its priests, its inquisiteurs and its lawsuits in sorcery” but would be jointly a “false religion which today true opium of the people” and which would aim at “weakening their immunizing defenses, and thus fully the name of mental AIDS”.

July 4th, 2006, in the European Parliament, it expresses with strength its support for Maciej Giertych for its Panégyrique of Franco, Salazar and Piłsudski.

Mr. Gollnisch affirms that the “business of the “point of detail” did not make any movement” in the rows of the FN, whereas Olivier d' Ormesson is on the point of resigning of the party. Always in 1987, Mr. Gollnisch goes on a journey in South Africa, with two other deputies FN (Jean-Pierre Chenardi, Jean-Pierre Stirbois), three UDF deputies and three RPR deputies.
