PARIS: Conservative candidate Francois Fillon said on Wednesday he would not pull out of the French presidential election campaign despite being summoned by magistrates investigating payments made to his wife.

"I won't give in, I won't surrender, I won't pull out, I'll fight to the end," Fillon said in a speech.
