I know very well that the political classes have spread fear among the electorate: Without the euro, the sun will cease shining, the rivers will stop flowing, we will enter an ice age.

To be honest, there are many things said about Russia because they have been demonized for years at the behest of the USA. It is part of the greatness of a European country to develop one's own opinion and to not view everything through the US lens. We have no lesson to teach Russia if we concurrently roll out the red carpet to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and China.

The Americans are trying to expand their influence in the world, particularly in Europe. They are defending their own interests, not ours.

If I didn't believe that we had a chance of coming to power, then I would have focused on taking care of my three children or gardening.

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

Vive les peuples, Vive la Republique! Vive la France!

Wild globalization has benefited some, but it's been a catastrophe for most.
