French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday addressed the 2011 congress of the European People's Party, the EPP, in Marseille, with only hours to go before the start of the crucial European Union meeting in Brussels.
In his speech, Sarkozy warned that there would be "no second chance" if the EU failed to reach a deal to save the euro.
"Never has Europe been so necessary and never has it been in so much danger... Never has the risk of Europe's explosion been so great," Sarkozy said with only hours to go before the EU summit in Brussels.
"If we don't have an agreement on Friday, we will not have a second chance," Sarkozy told a meeting of European conservative parties in the French port of Marseille.
