In these sad circumstances I must emphasise that the state has done its duty, the government has assumed its responsibilities, the public institutions and services have played their part and the civilian and military agents of the state, the local authorities and the public establishments and enterprises have done what was required of them.
Dans ces graves circonstances, je me dois de souligner que l’État a fait son devoir, le gouvernement a assumé ses responsabilités, les institutions et les services publics ont joué leur rôle et les agents civils et militaires de l’État, des collectivités locales, des établissements et entreprises publics ont accompli leur mission.
