But this hysterical article is exactly what is wrong with 'journalism' today - a complete spin that tries to come up with very one sided sensational claims and tries too hard to paint an ideological devil on the wall.

The so called 'quote' doesn't even take into account such minor detail as that France doesn't geographically have any border with Czech Republic.

Btw. since the local media do the same he will have it very difficult in the second round to keep his mandate. Being unorthodox and politically incorrect obviously gets your character assassinated these days.
