We have chased away the clouds, the sky is all 'rose.'

My goal is to put France back on its feet. I have to put this country back on its feet.

Nothing was given to me, nothing was entrusted to me, nothing was assigned to me. Everything I have, I took by right.

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 think that France has not made it clear enough recently to our German friends how important it is to introduce euro bonds as a tool against speculation. And how the necessary budget discipline needs to be accompanied by growth.

To be influential in tomorrow's world, to defend our values and our development model, France needs Europe and Europe needs France.

My adversary is the world of finance.
