From now on, the response cannot be found in a government reshuffle, whatever its scope, but in a major change in the direction of the government.

I think when you are interior minister and number two in the government, you should master your own language,

Though Africa is not responsible for emitting greenhouse gases, it is suffering the consequences of climate change.

I want to initiate a change in society in the long term.

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.

We need the help of other member countries and leaders who, like us, want to see a change in Europe's direction. That's also my logic when I tell voters that electing me president will not only shape France's future, but also initiate change across all of Europe.
