Multiculturalism here - Collegiality of society comes first

A MODERN, European society is no more than an attempt at the organisation of all its members, no matter what their religion, no matter what their origin, no matter which cultural background informs their ambitions, for the mutual security and benefit of every member of that society.

For that society to be secure each member, no matter how recent, must be treated equally and afforded the respect each and every person can anticipate if they play a part in creating, sustaining and enriching the society in which they live.

Though we now imagine these unquestioned rights to be almost natural laws that was not always the case.
