Between France and Senegal there's a history. There's a language that we both speak. There's a culture that we share and to which both of our peoples have contributed. But beyond our history, beyond our language, beyond the links that have united us for so long, what unites us today is the future.
Francois Hollande -
My goal is to put France back on its feet. I have to put this country back on its feet.
Francois Hollande
-
France is the bridge between northern Europe and southern Europe. I refuse any division. If Europe has been reunified, it's not for it to then fall into egotism or 'each for one's own'. Our duty is to set common rules around the principles of responsibility and solidarity.
Francois Hollande -
China... has the capacity to ensure its stability and growth.
Francois Hollande -
The real threat comes from terrorism.
Francois Hollande -
I can understand countries don't want to join the euro, but they cannot impede the consolidation and strengthening of the eurozone.
Francois Hollande -
Our common responsibility is to put Europe's interests first.
Francois Hollande -
Europe must act quickly where it's needed and must, once and for all, let member states handle what is their exclusive domain.
Francois Hollande
-
I have defended the interests of France at the G8 in Washington; afterwards I was at Chicago to announce the withdrawal of French troops from Afghanistan; I have participated in two European summits, so I have fully respected the engagements I made to the French.
Francois Hollande -
Europe must be understood and controlled by its citizens.
Francois Hollande -
A jolt is necessary. Europe must reaffirm it values of freedom, solidarity, peace. The EU must be understood and controlled by its citizens. I will do everything to secure profound change rather than decline.
Francois Hollande -
Our enemy in Syria is Daesh: it's not about containing but destroying this organisation.
Francois Hollande -
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.
Francois Hollande -
Austerity need not be Europe's fate.
Francois Hollande
-
The first time that I went to the United States was in 1974. I was 20 years old. America was in crisis.
Francois Hollande -
Islamist terrorism has declared war against us, against France, Europe, the entire world.
Francois Hollande -
I don't want to drive the markets crazy. I don't want to create trouble, but rather order and rules and norms. We have to struggle against financial excesses, those who speculate with sovereign debt, those who develop financial products which have done so much harm.
Francois Hollande -
We're all taking part in this solidarity. The French, the Germans, just like all the Europeans in the ESM. Let's stop thinking that there's only one country who's going to pay for the others. That's false.
Francois Hollande -
Whoever pays should control; whoever pays should sanction. I agree. But budgetary union should be completed by a partial mutualisation of debts through eurobonds.
Francois Hollande -
Doesn't everyone have their hair done?
Francois Hollande
-
Faced with terror, France must be strong, it must be great, and the state authorities must be firm.
Francois Hollande -
Everyone must be in the same competitive situation, including on the fiscal level.
Francois Hollande -
My mission is to put France back on its feet. The priority is employment. Efforts have to be made, but those efforts must be made fairly.
Francois Hollande -
Our biggest threat is not too much Europe, but too little.
