I absolutely disagree that it was an illegal annexation: a referendum was held, and residents of Crimea chose to rejoin Russia.

Elected president of the Republic, I would immediately, and with no hesitation, carry out the battle plan against Islamist terrorism and against judicial laxity.

Donald Trump presented for the French an infinitely less dangerous program than that of Hillary Clinton.

Our countries have been friends dating to the very existence of the United States. France is the only power that has never been at war with the United States.

The name of our country, France, still rings out like a call to freedom.

The petty logic of political parties cannot be allowed to stifle the French people's legitimate aspirations to safety and liberty.

I notice that freedom of expression of an E.U. member of Parliament who denounces the actions of ISIS allows the French government to take her to court.

I am a woman, and as such, I experience the ever-increasing restrictions on our liberty in our country through the development of Islamic fundamentalism.

Fight for victory until the very last minute.

Islamism is a monstrous totalitarian ideology that has declared war on our nation, on reason, on civilization.

It is right for us not to want our country transformed into a mere corridor, a giant railway station.

Just watch the interlopers from all over the world come and install themselves in our home. They want to transform France into a giant squat.

I consider that France and the Republic were in London during the occupation and that the Vichy regime was not France.

How can we think we are protected if terrorists can move around freely, if weapons can circulate freely?

I am the president who will protect you!

Long live the Republic, long live France.

I call for the awakening of our people's ancient soul, capable of opposing a bloodthirsty barbarism.

My dear compatriots, I'm not interested in your race, your origin, your sexual orientation. What interests me is your happiness.

Women can better perceive injustice.
