Austerity Need Not Be Europe's Fate.

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.

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.

The Transatlantic Relationship Is Vital For Both Our Countries: France Will Remain A Reliable Ally Of The United States. Nevertheless, Ally Does Not Mean Aligned.

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.

I'm Going To Gather All The French People Who Want Change.
