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 love France. The French respect your privacy.

France has a very important relationship with Germany. But that does not mean that we agree about everything or that two of our universities or companies are not going to compete.

I cannot resign myself to the decline of Europe, and of France.

France cannot be France without greatness.

It is not what France gave you but what it did not take from you that was important.

I am against the Islamisation of France.

There is just one France... one single nation, united in the same destiny.
