More quotes by Francois Hollande
No one imposes things on anyone in Europe. That's not my notion, nor is it my temperament. The EU has always functioned under the banner of respect, equilibrium and trust.
Francois Hollande
I think that France has not made it clear enough recently to our German friends how important it is to introduce euro bonds as a tool against speculation. And how the necessary budget discipline needs to be accompanied by growth.
Francois Hollande
I could have made a fortune in cheeseburgers, but I finally chose politics.
Francois Hollande
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.
Francois Hollande
Mitterrand had a sense for symbols, and he was the first Socialist president since 1958. He wanted to show that there is historical continuity, a connection with the great figures of French history.
Francois Hollande
My mission is to put France back on its feet. The priority is employment. Efforts have to be made, but those efforts must be made fairly.
Francois Hollande
The British have been particularly shy about the issues of financial regulation, and attentive only to the interests of the City - hence their reluctance to see the introduction of a tax on financial transactions and tax harmonisation in Europe.
Francois Hollande
I have defended the interests of France at the G8 in Washington afterwards I was at Chicago to announce the withdrawal of French troops from Afghanistan I have participated in two European summits, so I have fully respected the engagements I made to the French.
Francois Hollande
That is now my mission: to provide a European vision of growth, employment, prosperity - in one word, our future.
Francois Hollande
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.
Francois Hollande
Nothing was given to me, nothing was entrusted to me, nothing was assigned to me. Everything I have, I took by right.
Francois Hollande
I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again.
Francois Hollande
My adversary is the world of finance.
Francois Hollande
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.
Francois Hollande
Terrorism fuels itself from all kinds of illicit trafficking: drugs, weapons, human beings.
Francois Hollande
I am attached to the French language. I will defend the ubiquitous use of French.
Francois Hollande
My real adversary has no name, no face, no party. It will never be elected, yet it governs - the adversary is the world of finance.
Francois Hollande
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.
Francois Hollande
I don't want to drive the markets crazy. I don't want to create trouble, but rather order and rules and norms. We have to struggle against financial excesses, those who speculate with sovereign debt, those who develop financial products which have done so much harm.
Francois Hollande
To me, it's important to preserve proximity to the people. I wouldn't do anything pretentious, and nothing that hurts the people who voted for me. Triumphalism isn't my thing.
Francois Hollande
