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.

More quotes by Francois Hollande
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.
Francois Hollande
I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again.
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
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
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
I am attached to the French language. I will defend the ubiquitous use of French.
Francois Hollande
I gave myself an objective, to be the second president from Correze and finally to be the successor to Francois Mitterrand.
Francois Hollande

Francois Hollande
Mandela's message will never die. It will continue to inspire freedom fighters and give confidence to people who defend just causes and universal rights.
Francois Hollande
I won't wait until the end of my term to say I made mistakes at the beginning. That's too late. I will try to adopt the proper behaviour, if the French give me the chance, right from the start.
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
In an election, one needs both hope and audacity.
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
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
There is just one France... one single nation, united in the same destiny.
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
Terrorism fuels itself from all kinds of illicit trafficking: drugs, weapons, human beings.
Francois Hollande
Austerity need not be Europe's fate.
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
What the French want is coherence, stability and justice. If I am in a favorable position today, it's because my fellow citizens want to make the effort to straighten out the country, and at the same time they want it to be just and equitable.
Francois Hollande
