We are a continent of refugees, and if you say we can't integrate refugees, that's not consistent with our values, even if borders cannot be wide open.

It's about our ability precisely to integrate a people and offer jobs, and that, for me, is one of the key rationales of the reforms I'm pushing, and I'm a strong believer in that when you lift barriers, when you deregulate a lot of stuff, basically you improve the equality of opportunities.

I want to unite our people and our country. I will serve you with humility and force in the name of liberte, egalite, fraternite.

I am not shy. I am for an open society. I am for a progressive world. I do not propose to reform France; I propose to transform it at its deepest level.

I'm in a left-wing government, unashamedly... but I also want to work with people from the Right who commit to the same values.

We're not isolated from the world. The world knocks on our door.
