TAUTOLOGICAL GREETINGS
of the President of the French Republic
François Hollande, December 31, 2012
 
My dear compatriots,
true to a great tradition, I present to each and every one of you my warmest wishes for the new year.
My trust lies especially in France.
I know what talent is,
not by obstination, but by conviction. It is in the interest of France.
France is France.
France is herself as well.
And long live France.
France is France.
Long live the Republic
And long live France.
