François Hollande on the role of President: "Trust is exemplary"

Live from the festival hall of the Palais de l'Elysée, François HOLLANDE, who has just been elected President of the French Republic, delivers a inaugural speech in which he gives his vision of head of state to govern France: 'Trust is also exemplary. President of the Republic, I will fully assume the exceptional responsibilities of this high mission. I will set priorities but I will not decide everything, for everyone and everywhere. In accordance with the Constitution, the government will determine and conduct the policy of the Nation, the Parliament will be respected in its rights, the justice will have all the guarantees of its independence. Power at the top of the state will be exercised with dignity and simplicity, with great ambition for the country. And a scrupulous sobriety in behavior. The State will be impartial because it is the property of all the French and therefore does not belong to those who have received it for a limited time. The rules for appointing public officials will be regulated and loyalty, competence and the service of the general interest will be the only criteria for determining my choices for the great servants of the State."
