The unions may continue to decline, but if they do, it'll be their fault.

I cannot resign myself to the decline of Europe, and of France.

Contrary to what people say, my wife never turned me away from the presidency. She told me to reflect on it and do what I wanted.

The European model is, first, a social and economic system founded on the role of the market, for no computer in the world can process information better than the market.

Any union that can't accept workers choosing their own representatives through universal franchise is finished.

I would not be opposed to devising a new system of pensions, in which one part was based on collective provision, but which also gave incentives for people to take out an additional, personal plan.

If you don't have collective agreements between unions and employers, governments have to legislate more.
