Symbols Mean A Lot In

I Attach The Greatest Importance To An Amplification Of The Peace Efforts In The Middle East. I Would Also Like To See A Greater Dialogue Between The U.s. And The Eu.

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.

I'm Not A Lukewarm European. I Know That The German-french Friendship Is Indispensable, No Matter Who The Countries' Leaders Are.

There Are Tensions Abroad Where People Don't Understand Our Attachment To The Freedom Of Speech, We've Seen The Protests, And I Would Say That In France All Beliefs Are Respected.

I Know Where I'm Going And I Have Told The French. I Am Sure If Hope Is There, We Will Be Able To Put France Back On Its Feet To Live Better In Five Years Than We Do Today.
