Germany And France Are Pinning

Europe Needs An Engine, And The Franco-german Motor Has Provided That When The Two Nations Have Converged On Important Topics During Critical Periods. But That Partnership Shouldn't Be A Directorate For Other Eu Members.

One Thing That Makes France Different From Other Countries Is The Tradition Of Social Solidarity. People From All Backgrounds And Political Positions Are Willing To Contribute For Services And Protection Of Society As A Whole - But On The Condition That Money Is Being Spent Effectively And That Everyone Is Paying Their Part.

The Transatlantic Relationship Is Vital For Both Our Countries: France Will Remain A Reliable Ally Of The United States. Nevertheless, Ally Does Not Mean Aligned.

What Is At Stake Is Preserving Our Relations With The United States. They Should Not Be Changed Because Of What Has Happened. But Trust Has To Be Restored And Reinforced.

There's Always A Risk When The Candidate Becomes President: Will He Deliver What Is Expected Of Him?
