A compromise appears out of reach on the stripping of terrorists' nationality.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I prefer that people remember me as a president who made reforms rather than a president who did nothing.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I will not give way because too many previous governments have backed down.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
If the discussion centres on the essential principle of the E.U., the free movement of people and the ability to make decisions together, in that case, we don't want treaty change.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
France wants Britain to remain in the E.U.; indeed, how can we imagine that friendly nation that is our ally and played a role on the international stage could be outside the E.U.?
Quote by -Francois Hollande
Everyone must understand that you can't demand solidarity when there's a problem and shirk your duties when there are solutions.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
Be happy, be proud, be generous, be respectful, be proud to be French citizens.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I don't know if you can hear me, but I have heard you. I heard your willingness to change. Your force, your hope... and I want to tell you how grateful I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you, people of France.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
Muslims in France should be able to practice their religion freely and safely.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
A country outside the euro zone cannot have a veto over countries in the euro zone.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I can't separate the fight with terrorism and the fight against global warming. These are two big global challenges we have to face up to because we have to leave our children more than a world free of terror; we also owe them a planet protected from catastrophes.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I can understand countries don't want to join the euro, but they cannot impede the consolidation and strengthening of the eurozone.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
Though Africa is not responsible for emitting greenhouse gases, it is suffering the consequences of climate change.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
France is no longer herself when she is folded in on herself, tormented by ignorance and intolerance. The country would plunge into decline if it refused to be itself, if it was afraid of the future, afraid of the world.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
France, because it was attacked cowardly, shamelessly, violently, France will be merciless against the barbarians of Daesh.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
The arguments in the Brexit vote and in the American presidential campaign are about the same. In a friendly way, may I also give some advice to the American people to make the right choice when the moment comes.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I support the French team - I go to all their matches - but I don't want to use sport for politics. That's not good for sport or for politics.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
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.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
The British people have decided to leave. It is a sad decision but one which I respect. The vote puts the European Union in difficulties. It must recognise its shortfalls.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
To be influential in tomorrow's world, to defend our values and our development model, France needs Europe and Europe needs France.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I have defended the interests of France at the G8 in Washington; afterwards I was at Chicago to announce the withdrawal of French troops from Afghanistan; I have participated in two European summits, so I have fully respected the engagements I made to the French.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I don't like indecent, unearned wealth. But it is legitimate for an entrepreneur who has created something to make a good living.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
Not in the constitution, but I would propose a law to the French parliament that provides for reducing the budget deficit year by year, until we have reached a balanced budget by 2017.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
If I become president, France will not continue with the same policies as under Nicolas Sarkozy - both in domestic policy and in foreign and European policy.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I don't want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. That can only work in the longer-term. I want euro bonds to be used to finance targeted investments in future-oriented growth projects. It isn't the same thing. Let's call them 'project bonds' instead of euro bonds.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I know where I'm going and I have told the French. I am sure if hope is there, we will be able to put France back on its feet... to live better in five years than we do today.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
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.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I don't want to leave my successor and my children to pay for France's debt.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
My goal is to put France back on its feet. I have to put this country back on its feet.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
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.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
One thing that makes France different from other countries is the tradition of social solidarity. People from all backgrounds and political positions are willing to contribute for services and protection of society as a whole - but on the condition that money is being spent effectively and that everyone is paying their part.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
I want the French people to respect values that allow each individual to practice his or her faith, but in the frame of our common rules of secularism.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
France isn't just any country in Europe, and its president is not an ordinary leader in the world. Sometimes directing or leading the way is not enough, he has to initiate policies, as Nicolas Sarkozy was able to demonstrate during his term.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
We find ourselves in a difficult situation in Europe. There's a crisis, weak growth, unemployment... my duty is to ensure that by the end of my mandate France is in a better state than it was at the beginning.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
An education program is, by definition, a societal program. Work should be done at school, rather than at home.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
What is happening in the Sahel for the past several months is that terrorists have structured themselves, have installed themselves. It's not simply a menace for west Africa.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
Between France and Senegal there's a history. There's a language that we both speak. There's a culture that we share and to which both of our peoples have contributed. But beyond our history, beyond our language, beyond the links that have united us for so long, what unites us today is the future.
Quote by -Francois Hollande
France is the bridge between northern Europe and southern Europe. I refuse any division. If Europe has been reunified, it's not for it to then fall into egotism or 'each for one's own'. Our duty is to set common rules around the principles of responsibility and solidarity.
