RSR, Fre - The Swiss Federal Justice and Police Department has refused to accept remarks made by right-wing French presidential candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen, that his immigration policies are based on those of Switzerland. Spokesman Livio Zanolari told RSR that Le Pen and Christophe Blocher, minister for justice and police, "don't have the same goals or the same principles." Le Pen, contacted later, insists that his policies are identical to Switzerland's current policy of favouring some countries' (European Union) workers and allowing in only refugees that have identity papers.
