I can understand countries don't want to join the euro, but they cannot impede the consolidation and strengthening of the eurozone.

Being in the European Union has its advantages, and I think that is what the British are beginning to understand, what those who are tempted by the Brexit are going to reflect upon.

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.

Everyone must understand that you can't demand solidarity when there's a problem and shirk your duties when there are solutions.

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

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.
