MADRID – French presidential candidate Francois Hollande on Sunday said his real opponent was not current President Nicolas Sarkozy, but the "world of finance." In the first big speech of his campaign on Sunday, he said: "My principal adversary has no name, it has no face and does not belong to a political party. It has never presented its candidature and has never been elected, but it still governs," according to France24. "This adversary is the world of finance." Saying he wanted to "change the destiny of France," Hollande outlined his manifesto, pledging to cut presidential and government salaries by 30% and create a tax on financial transactions among other goals.
