Francois Hollande

I want the French people to respect values that allow each individual to practice his or her faith, but in the frame of our common rules of secularism. ”

It is intolerable that in our country citizens should feel so upset and under assault because of their religious choice that they would conclude that they have to hide. ”

We need the help of other member countries and leaders who, like us, want to see a change in Europe's direction. That's also my logic when I tell voters that electing me president will not only shape France's future, but also initiate change across all of Europe. ”

If the discussion centres on the essential principle of the E.U., the free movement of people and the ability to make decisions together, in that case, we don't want treaty change. ”

I don't know if you can hear me, but I have heard you. I heard your willingness to change. Your force, your hope... and I want to tell you how grateful I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you, people of France. ”

Though Africa is not responsible for emitting greenhouse gases, it is suffering the consequences of climate change. ”

I'm going to gather all the French people who want change. ”

My dear citizens, fellow citizens, French people, this 6th of May, have just chosen change by bringing me the presidency of the French republic. I feel the honor, which has been given to me and the task, the important task faced beyond - in front of you to serve my country. ”

I want to initiate a change in society in the long term. ”

France needs to improve training and education and the level of skills of its workforce. ”
