More quotes by 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 could have made a fortune in cheeseburgers, but I finally chose politics.
Francois Hollande

Francois Hollande
Austerity need not be Europe's fate.

An education program is, by definition, a societal program. Work should be done at school, rather than at home.
Francois Hollande
There's always a risk when the candidate becomes president: Will he deliver what is expected of him?
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
I am for a clear distinction between public and private life. I believe private matters should be regulated in private and I have asked those close to me to respect this.
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
There cannot be prosperity without security.
Francois Hollande
That is now my mission: to provide a European vision of growth, employment, prosperity - in one word, our future.
Francois Hollande
