Society

One thing that makes France different from other countries is the tradition of social solidarity. People from all backgrounds and political positions are willing to contribute for services and protection of society as a whole – but on the condition that money is being spent effectively and that everyone is paying their part.

Respect

I am for a clear distinction between public and private life. I believe private matters should be regulated in private and I have asked those close to me to respect this.

Respect

Before you I engage myself to serve my country with the devotion and the exemplary that this post demands. I understand responsibilities of the job and as such I give a republican salute to Nicolas Sarkozy who has led France for 5 years and who deserves all of our respect.

Peace

The United Nations will be at the heart of our international activities. France will assume its full responsibilities at the Security Council by putting its status at the service of peace respect for human rights and development.

Peace

I attach the greatest importance to an amplification of the peace efforts in the Middle East. I would also like to see a greater dialogue between the U.S. and the EU.

Leadership

France after the month of May will share trust with the current leadership of the United States which on many subjects has tended to take useful positions in our view.

Hope

I know where I'm going and I have told the French. I am sure if hope is there we will be able to put France back on its feet… to live better in five years than we do today.
