Francois Hollande is the president of the republic, he must be respected. I want to wish him good luck in the midst of these tests.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Francois Hollande, the president of France, and Segolene Royal, a senior cabinet minister who once ran for that post herself, have an exceptionally complicated relationship. The two lived together for 25 years, raising four children over that time.
I am the president of the youth of France.
My dear citizens, fellow citizens, French people, this 6th of May, have just chosen change by bringing me the presidency of the French republic. I feel the honor, which has been given to me and the task, the important task faced beyond - in front of you to serve my country.
Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.
It is only natural that for any statesman at the helm of any government the question of his country's security should be a concern of the utmost importance.
The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass the test.
Before you, I engage myself to serve my country with the devotion and the exemplary that this post demands. I understand responsibilities of the job and, as such, I give a republican salute to Nicolas Sarkozy who has led France for 5 years and who deserves all of our respect.
We need a president with tremendous intelligence, smarts, cunning, strength and stamina.
Presidents need to be critically studied and analyzed.
Francois Hollande is an intelligent man. I do not have a problem with him. The only thing is, he has never held office at the state level. Honestly, can you imagine Francois Hollande as president of France? Imagine it!
