"I don't want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. T..." — Francois Hollande

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.

The transatlantic relationship is vital for both our countries: France will remain a reliable ally of the United States. Nevertheless, ally does not mean aligned.

We are a big country, with lots of advantages and history. We are proud to be French. We have to call on patriotism at this time... to ask for an effort in the battle against debt.

My real adversary has no name, no face, no party. It will never be elected, yet it governs - the adversary is the world of finance.
