My Adversary Is The World

What The French Want Is Coherence, Stability And Justice. If I Am In A Favorable Position Today, It's Because My Fellow Citizens Want To Make The Effort To Straighten Out The Country, And At The Same Time They Want It To Be Just And Equitable.

If We Don't Manage To Find Not Just A Compromise But A Lasting Peace Agreement, We Know Perfectly Well What The Scenario Will Be. It Has A Name, It's Called War.

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.

France Is The Bridge Between Northern Europe And Southern Europe. I Refuse Any Division. If Europe Has Been Reunified, It's Not For It To Then Fall Into Egotism Or 'each For One's Own'. Our Duty Is To Set Common Rules Around The Principles Of Responsibility And Solidarity.

I Would Like A Uk Fully Engaged In Europe, But I Can't Decide In Place Of The British. I See That For The Moment They Want To Be More In Retreat.
