Everybody should be able to choose according to his own values and history, within a European civilization that we all belong to.

Euro was created by Germany, for Germany.

Trade has always existed, but we used to defend our strategic interests. Could you imagine the United States allowing French engineering giant Alstom to purchase General Electric? I don't think so.

I'm not talking about autarky. I'm not crazy. We need an intelligent protectionism.

We are simply allowing our right to self-determination to be stolen from us.

The French want to regain control of their own country. They want to determine the course of their own economy and their immigration policies. They want their own laws to take precedence over those of the European Union.

I place the blame with our own leaders who are not defending our interests. A strong euro is ruining our economy.
