We're all taking part in this solidarity. The French, the Germans, just like all the Europeans in the ESM. Let's stop thinking that there's only one country who's going to pay for the others. That's false.

We want to offer the country a way out of the crisis.

I'm not a lukewarm European. I know that the German-French friendship is indispensable, no matter who the countries' leaders are.

I commit myself to serve my country.

A large country with such outstanding economic performance as Germany cannot forget that it owes some of its success to demand from other European countries.
