I Am Proud To Have Been Capable

Is France A Northern European Export Powerhouse, Or A Mediterranean Indebted And Dependent Economy? Yes To Both.

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.

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 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.

In An Election, One Needs Both Hope And Audacity.
