I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar.

In a presidential campaign, you can't lie. You can't hide what you are and what you want. You can't hide what kind of President you'll be. You can't keep on talking about nothing indefinitely and committing to nothing, you can't keep running away from debate, masking the challenges.

Not to intermarry racially is bad for the survival of the country.

Francois Hollande is the president of the republic, he must be respected. I want to wish him good luck in the midst of these tests.

We are all hoping that he will recover his legendary vitality as quickly as possible, ... Chi-rac! Chi-rac!

Nothing - I mean nothing - and no-one - I mean no-one - will stop me going through to the end, and trying to be ready for the challenge of 2007.

I'm ready to become a French person amongst French people, and more than ever I have the love for my country deeply ingrained in my heart.
