Valls was guest of honor at the fete hosted by Ambassador Charles Rivkin Thursday. In a speech before hundreds of guests, he said that “in the name of our friendship, we owe each other honesty. We must say things clearly, directly, frankly.”
He said that President Francois Hollande’s demand for clear and precise explanations about reports of U.S. spying are justified because “such practices, if proven, do not have their place between allies and partners.”
European countries agreed Wednesday that planned talks on free trade with the U.S. must start in parallel with discussions on National Security Agency surveillance.

France is perfectly within her rights to be upset and complain but not at an affair where one of it’s representatives is a guest of honor of the very country he is complaining about. Very bad manners.
France is drowning in radical Islamists. Fix your own maison, mon ami.
How rude. To be invited into someone’s home and attempt to embarrass him. I guess one could not expect better from the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys.
If it wasn’t for the US they’d all be speaking German. Now, if it wasnt for the US intelligence program, they’d all be speaking Arabic.
