Mr Sarkozy today unveiled a 32-point campaign platform for his second and final five-year term, much of which he has laid out previously in campaign speeches. The president also presented a 32-page letter to voters.
Speaking at the launch of his manifesto, he announced that France will seek to freeze its contirbution to the EU budget if Mr Sarkozy is re-elected.
"I announce to you that France will ask that its contribution to the EU budget be frozen, which will represent savings of around 600 million euros per year," he said.
In the letter, he focused on issues that he has been hammering away at for the past month, including cutting the number of immigrants to France by half, asking the European Union to demand more reciprocity in trade, and demanding that the unemployed seek job training. He repeated his goal to balance the budget by 2016, saying France would suffer the fate of southern European countries such as Spain if it's delayed. » | Source: Bloomberg | Thursday, April 05, 2012
