I Want To Initiate A Change In

The Transatlantic Relationship Is Vital For Both Our Countries: France Will Remain A Reliable Ally Of The United States. Nevertheless, Ally Does Not Mean Aligned.

In Front Of You I Commit Myself To Serve My Country With Devotion.

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.

My Goal Is To Put France Back On Its Feet. I Have To Put This Country Back On Its Feet.
