Former Prime Minister Michel Rocard did not mince words about Sarkozy’s recent proposals to strip foreign-born French nationals of their citizenship if convicted of threatening the life of a police officer, practicing polygamy, or female “circumcision.” “One has not seen such measures since the Vichy regime or since the Nazis,” Rocard declared.
对于萨科齐最近的提议——如果一个外国出生的法国公民威胁警察的生命，实行一夫多妻制，或者施行妇女“割礼”，那么就将被剥夺公民身份——前总理米歇尔·罗卡尔毫不掩饰自己的厌恶：“自从维希政府或纳粹统治以来都没见过这样的手段”。虽然将萨科齐比做通敌卖国的马绍尔·贝当维希政权显然是有点夸张，但罗卡尔的忧虑也是许多法国人的感受——而且不仅限于知识分子和权威专家。
