France is one of the political heavyweights of the European
Union, a key world economy and a major global player. Hardtalk
speaks to Jean-François Copé, the leader of the UMP, the main
opposition party on the centre-right, who has lurched farther to
the right on issues like gay marriage. He has also made comments
about the French Muslim community, which have led to accusations
that he is threatening cultural harmony. Is he in danger of
consigning his party to the political dustbin at home and on the
world stage?
