00:00I'm not a candidate for anything, but I'm very keen that Europe is protected,
00:04that Europe is the framework within which member states operate, including France.
00:09You know, I try to look at all member states without diving deep into the politics of anyone.
00:16Of course, as a French, I have my own views. I keep them to myself.
00:20But what I very much hope is that the democratic process will continue.
00:24You know, in politics, the next, you know, eight months is eternity, so so many things can happen.
00:30We will be monitoring, we will be looking at the risk level, we will be looking at all that carefully,
00:35and we hope that reason will always prevail, and that France will appreciate, whoever is the leader for France,
00:42that it is one key member of Europe, and that Europe is the only playground within which member states, nations,
00:50even France, can actually play a significant role.
