WOKISM VS TRUMPISM: A NEW WAR OF IDEAS

French without France – Three sentences and a doctrine

Three statements by Emmanuel Macron on regional languages, African Francophonie, and Arabic in France reveal the same underlying confusion: that of speaking about the French language without considering it as a language of civilization. Regional languages ​​were not enemies of the nation; the demographic vitality of French in Africa does not erase its French history; the presence of Arabic in France cannot, on its own, redefine our language policy. Defending French does not mean rejecting other languages, but rather remembering that a shared language is also a memory, a requirement, and a discipline of the mind.
