I want to thank them and know that I owe them a debt in the coming years.” He added, “I am aware that this vote places me under an obligation for the years to come.”

He said, "You have chosen a humanitarian, republican and environmental project based on work and creativity, a project to liberate our academic, cultural and entrepreneurial strengths."

“We will have to come forward with determination and ambition,” he added. We have a lot to do, and the war in Ukraine is there to remind us that we find ourselves in tragic times, through which France must find its way.”
