I won't wait until the end of my term to say I made mistakes at the beginning. That's too late. I will try to adopt the proper behaviour, if the French give me the chance, right from the start.
Francois Hollande -
We must not lose time, neither for dealing in a suitable way with the question of the United Kingdom's exit, nor for providing a new impetus for the E.U.
Francois Hollande
-
We will continue to hit those who threaten us.
Francois Hollande -
What the terrorists want is to scare us and fill us with dread.
Francois Hollande -
When we live longer, we must work a little bit longer.
Francois Hollande -
Daesh is the enemy of Europe, and Europe cannot live with the idea that the crises that surround it don't have an effect on it.
Francois Hollande -
I think that France has not made it clear enough recently to our German friends how important it is to introduce euro bonds as a tool against speculation. And how the necessary budget discipline needs to be accompanied by growth.
Francois Hollande -
A compromise appears out of reach on the stripping of terrorists' nationality.
Francois Hollande
-
France, because it was attacked cowardly, shamelessly, violently, France will be merciless against the barbarians of Daesh.
Francois Hollande -
I've got a thick skin.
Francois Hollande -
If Europe does not advance, it will fall or even be wiped out from the world map... My duty is to bring Europe out of its lethargy.
Francois Hollande -
I don't want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. That can only work in the longer-term. I want euro bonds to be used to finance targeted investments in future-oriented growth projects. It isn't the same thing. Let's call them 'project bonds' instead of euro bonds.
Francois Hollande -
We find ourselves in a difficult situation in Europe. There's a crisis, weak growth, unemployment... my duty is to ensure that by the end of my mandate France is in a better state than it was at the beginning.
Francois Hollande -
I commit myself to serve my country.
Francois Hollande
-
During a term in office there are highs and lows, but what counts is that the goal is set as well as the means to achieve it, and the force we put into getting results.
Francois Hollande -
My security is assured everywhere, and at any moment.
Francois Hollande -
I do not like the rich.
Francois Hollande -
People need to see signs of equal treatment across society.
Francois Hollande -
The concept of the terrorists is to plunge our country into division.
Francois Hollande -
Muslims in France should be able to practice their religion freely and safely.
Francois Hollande
-
Very strong declarations were made by those countries who are most responsible for global warming... the United States and China, which undertook commitments towards changing the situation.
Francois Hollande -
When I travel officially... and when I travel on a private basis, I have protection that is less suffocating. But I am protected everywhere.
Francois Hollande -
Everyone says Francois Mitterrand had huge charisma. But before he was president they used to call him badly dressed, old, archaic and say he knew nothing about the economy... until the day he was elected. It's called universal suffrage. When you're elected, you become the person that embodies France.
Francois Hollande -
France wants Britain to remain in the E.U.; indeed, how can we imagine that friendly nation that is our ally and played a role on the international stage could be outside the E.U.?
