Multicultural policies in Europe have largely failed, former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar said Thursday on the one-year anniversary of riots by ethnic minorities in France.
“I believe that multiculturalism is a big failure,” Aznar said, speaking at Georgetown University.
“I’m against the idea of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism divides our societies, debilitates our societies, multiculturalism does not produce tolerance, nor integration.”
“And this is one of the reasons of the great failures in several European societies at this moment.”
Aznar, a pro-US conservative who led Spain from 1996 to 2004, emphasized that laws must be administered equally toward everyone.
If he would have said these things in 2004, he would still be Spain’s Prime Minister in 2006.
