I would like a UK fully engaged in Europe, but I can't decide in place of the British. I see that for the moment they want to be more in retreat.

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
Image
That is now my mission: to provide a European vision of growth, employment, prosperity - in one word, our future.
Francois Hollande
Image
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

My goal is to put France back on its feet. I have to put this country back on its feet.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I don't want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. That can only work in the longer-term. I want euro bonds to be used to finance targeted investments in future-oriented growth projects. It isn't the same thing. Let's call them 'project bonds' instead of euro bonds.

Austerity need not be Europe's fate.
Francois Hollande
Image
There is just one France... one single nation, united in the same destiny.

Each country has a soul, and France's soul is equality.

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.

Nothing was given to me, nothing was entrusted to me, nothing was assigned to me. Everything I have, I took by right.
Francois Hollande
Image
I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again.
Francois Hollande
Image
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.
