France has to accelerate in terms of reform.

We need to go faster on structural reforms in France.

France needs to improve training and education and the level of skills of its workforce.

One thing that makes France different from other countries is the tradition of social solidarity. People from all backgrounds and political positions are willing to contribute for services and protection of society as a whole - but on the condition that money is being spent effectively and that everyone is paying their part.

France is back.

France on its own cannot impose its point of view. But neither should it give up on its demands. With a clear vote for change France will be in a strong position.

France will insist on the need for updated and responsive institutions.

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.

France has more need of me than I have need of France.

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.
