He considers real equality "at the origin of ideologies dismissing democracy, and the source of misery and the Terror." On nationalism, he says that it is "not dangerous—there is not sentiment of hatred. On the contrary the rallying of peoples is good, emphasising the equality of men, and has nothing to do with hating other people. Rather, the nation is fundamental and natural." He belongs to the "national-catholic" wing of the far-right and is opposed to French laws on abortion.
