Germany And France Are Pinning Their Hopes

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.

We Are A Big Country, With Lots Of Advantages And History. We Are Proud To Be French. We Have To Call On Patriotism At This Time... To Ask For An Effort In The Battle Against Debt.

Symbols Mean A Lot In Politics. They Indicate A Will And Create New Realities.

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.

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.
