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

Is France a northern European export powerhouse, or a Mediterranean indebted and dependent economy? Yes to both.

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

Each country has a soul, and France's soul is equality.

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.

If we don't manage to find not just a compromise but a lasting peace agreement, we know perfectly well what the scenario will be. It has a name, it's called war.

If I become president, France will not continue with the same policies as under Nicolas Sarkozy - both in domestic policy and in foreign and European policy.
