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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Be happy, be proud, be generous, be respectful, be proud to be French citizens.
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.
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.
To be influential in tomorrow's world, to defend our values and our development model, France needs Europe and Europe needs France.
I owe everything to France.
The French people need to have all the facts so they can choose. And I won't be running away from it or hiding from it.
My goal is to put France back on its feet. I have to put this country back on its feet.
The people have spoken. Their decision is sovereign. We all respect it... I wish good luck to those who will now govern France.
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.
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.
