As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.

I am attached to the French language. I will defend the ubiquitous use of French.

I am not deaf. I hear the anger. I see the dissatisfaction, and I have to go faster.

When I travel officially... and when I travel on a private basis, I have protection that is less suffocating. But I am protected everywhere.

What the French want is coherence, stability and justice. If I am in a favorable position today, it's because my fellow citizens want to make the effort to straighten out the country, and at the same time they want it to be just and equitable.

As much as I believe in the Franco-German partnership, I question the idea of a duopoly. European construction is based on a well-balanced and respectful partnership between France and Germany.
