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.

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
Image
There is just one France... one single nation, united in the same destiny.
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

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
Image
My goal is to put France back on its feet. I have to put this country back on its feet.
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
Image
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
Image
I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again.
Francois Hollande
Image
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
Image
We find ourselves in a difficult situation in Europe. There's a crisis, weak growth, unemployment... my duty is to ensure that by the end of my mandate France is in a better state than it was at the beginning.
Francois Hollande

There's always a risk when the candidate becomes president: Will he deliver what is expected of him?
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
There cannot be prosperity without security.

We have chased away the clouds, the sky is all 'rose.'

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 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.
