Germany and France are pinning their hopes on young people, in terms of education, science and innovation.

I don't like indecent, unearned wealth. But it is legitimate for an entrepreneur who has created something to make a good living.

I would like a UK fully engaged in Europe, but I can't decide in place of the British. I see that for the moment they want to be more in retreat.

There are tensions abroad where people don't understand our attachment to the freedom of speech, we've seen the protests, and I would say that in France all beliefs are respected.

The German-French friendship is indispensable for Europe. And I will never let myself be carried away to making statements that would change it.

An education program is, by definition, a societal program. Work should be done at school, rather than at home.

My obligation, if I become president, is to give another direction to Europe than the one that is being forced upon us today.
