"Royal says yes to Turkey
Socialist candidate Segolene Royal has clarified her position on Turkish membership in the EU in her new book, saying that:
'I'm favorable to it in principle but not now because Europe is broken down, and before enlarging it, it has to be re-launched. The reasons why I am not favorable for the moment are not due to Turkey, but Europe: It needs a pause and a time of stabilization of its borders. Because today, the majority of its inhabitants no longer know where it starts and where it ends, what purpose it serves and where it's heading.'"
