He's a strange boy. A lot of what he says could be classed as very "nationalistic" -- wrapping himself in the flag. Imitating JFK: «Deman­dez-vous chaque matin ce que vous pouvez faire pour le pays.» Ask every morning what you can do for the country.

And he goes even further:

... dites-vous toujours que vous appartenez à un collectif plus fort, plus grand que vous : la Nation française. C'est ce collectif qui vous a éduqué, qui vous soigne, qui quand vous tombez, vous aide à vous relever, qui vous aidera dans vos vieux jours et dites-vous à chaque instant que vous avez quelque chose à faire pour la Nation.

Wonder what Ayn Rand would have made of that.

Yet he's attacking some bad nationalism that goes against his own plans.

That may be typical of older, richer nations. "Nationalism" is always something the newer and poorer countries have and should shed over time.

But politicians in Old Europe aren't unwilling to make nationalistic appeals if it will advance their careers, especially if the rhetoric is only window dressing.

Which flag, though? He is actually touting both of these.
