Slavery: Reparations Through Transparency
specifically, for descendents of slaves in French overseas territories. he notes that reparations have previously been made by governments to former slaveholders post-abolition. also that (at least in France) the main body asking for reparations isn't asking for individual payments, but for funding of research/museums/etc. in this specific context, he is pro reparations

For an Open Europe
urges France to adopt the same attitude towards refugees as Germany (though for Germany it's kind of a necessity due to the low birth rate). mentions UN projections that Germany's population will fall from 81 to 63 mil, and France's will rise from 64 to 76 mil, by 2100 (cool stat)
