Emmanuel Macron

I'm a child of provincial France. ”

I realised how much the system did not want to change. ”

I've taken my time. I've thought about it; I've consulted, and I've decided that we are going to create a new political movement, one that will be neither on the Right or the Left. ”

The 28-member Europe must be simpler, clearer, more efficient, and continue to advance on digital and energy issues. ”

Under the French system, you have to take into consideration that every five years, the president is directly elected by the people. He's the one that has the legitimacy. ”

I am not just a liberal movement. I come from the progressive Left. I am trying to refresh and counter the system. ”

I want to be the president of all the people of France, for the patriots facing the threat of nationalism. ”

There are two projects facing each other. There's Marine Le Pen's project of a fractured, closed France. On the other hand, you have my project which is a republican, patriotic project aiming at... reconciling France. ”

What matters to me is to find rational solutions for those that are facing difficulties so that France preserves jobs and its ability to innovate. ”

I think when people have pudding and jobs, they vote for you. ”
