More quotes by Francois Hollande
I perfectly understood President Obama's attitude throughout the French presidential campaign. He had no reason to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy. It's the basic solidarity that leaders who worked together owe to each other.
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
Each country has a soul, and France's soul is equality.
Francois Hollande
There's always a risk when the candidate becomes president: Will he deliver what is expected of him?
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
As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.
Francois Hollande
An education program is, by definition, a societal program. Work should be done at school, rather than at home.
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
We're all taking part in this solidarity. The French, the Germans, just like all the Europeans in the ESM - the eurozone's new rescue fund. Let's stop thinking that there's only one country who's going to pay for the others. That's false.
Francois Hollande
Not in the constitution, but I would propose a law to the French parliament that provides for reducing the budget deficit year by year, until we have reached a balanced budget by 2017.
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
The German-French friendship is indispensable for Europe. And I will never let myself be carried away to making statements that would change it.
Francois Hollande
I'm not a lukewarm European. I know that the German-French friendship is indispensable, no matter who the countries' leaders are.
Francois Hollande
That is now my mission: to provide a European vision of growth, employment, prosperity - in one word, our future.
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
Everyone says Francois Mitterrand had huge charisma. But before he was president they used to call him badly dressed, old, archaic and say he knew nothing about the economy until the day he was elected. It's called universal suffrage. When you're elected, you become the person that embodies France.
Francois Hollande
I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again.
Francois Hollande
There is just one France... one single nation, united in the same destiny.
Francois Hollande
If I become president, France will not continue with the same policies as under Nicolas Sarkozy - both in domestic policy and in foreign and European policy.
Francois Hollande
I gave myself an objective, to be the second president from Correze and finally to be the successor to Francois Mitterrand.
