We need to profoundly revise all of our taxes and charges. The aim is to tax pollution - notably fossil fuels - more, and tax work less

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.

Francois Hollande is an intelligent man. I do not have a problem with him. The only thing is, he has never held office at the state level. Honestly, can you imagine Francois Hollande as president of France? Imagine it!

I am not a man of my party. I do not talk only to socialists and union leaders.

I am deeply worried because we are seeing an unleashing of violence by 2,000 to 3,000 thugs who come to smash and loot. My objective is to avoid mistakes by the police, so that people can protest in safety.

If living in France bothers some people, they should feel free to leave the country.

Laissez-faire is finished. The all-powerful market that always knows best is finished.
