I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again.

I don't want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. That can only work in the longer-term. I want euro bonds to be used to finance targeted investments in future-oriented growth projects. It isn't the same thing. Let's call them 'project bonds' instead of euro bonds.

I am attached to the French language. I will defend the ubiquitous use of French.

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

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

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

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.
