To be a young Gaullist is to be a revolutionary!

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.

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.

Europe is not a choice, it is a necessity, but it needs to be rethought, refounded.

Franchement, quand je survole certains pays européens (les éoliennes) ne donne pas envie. (Frankly, when I fly over some European countries, their turbines don't fill me with envy.)

You are the eternal France, I love you.

France now has a new president and he must be respected. I assume full responsibility for this defeat.
