What matters to me is to find rational solutions for those that are facing difficulties so that France preserves jobs and its ability to innovate.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mission is to put France back on its feet. The priority is employment. Efforts have to be made, but those efforts must be made fairly.
When you grow up in the country in France, you have small horizons.
France has to reform, to recover, and get more competitiveness.
What the French want is coherence, stability and justice. If I am in a favorable position today, it's because my fellow citizens want to make the effort to straighten out the country, and at the same time they want it to be just and equitable.
I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one.
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.
France needs to find something that makes it stand out. It's not enough for it to do almost as well as its neighbors.
France needs to improve training and education and the level of skills of its workforce.
We have a lack of growth in Europe, in eurozone, and in France, and we are struggling hard to recover and restore this growth.
I have four priorities. Give back to the French their sovereignty over the French territory, their sovereignty over the currency, their sovereignty over the economy and the law.
