Nothing Was Given To Me,

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.

My Dear Citizens, Fellow Citizens, French People, This 6th Of May, Have Just Chosen Change By Bringing Me The Presidency Of The French Republic. I Feel The Honor, Which Has Been Given To Me And The Task, The Important Task Faced Beyond - In Front Of You To Serve My Country.

A Large Country With Such Outstanding Economic Performance As Germany Cannot Forget That It Owes Some Of Its Success To Demand From Other European Countries.

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.

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.
