I Am Proud To Have Been Capable

France Is The Bridge Between Northern Europe And Southern Europe. I Refuse Any Division. If Europe Has Been Reunified, It's Not For It To Then Fall Into Egotism Or 'each For One's Own'. Our Duty Is To Set Common Rules Around The Principles Of Responsibility And Solidarity.

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.

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.

Austerity Need Not Be Europe's Fate.

There Is Just One France... One Single Nation, United In The Same Destiny.
