I will certainly not join the European institutions in their displays of self-satisfaction as they have even had the effrontery to claim that they contributed significantly to the defeat of the apartheid regime in South Africa, whilst in fact, the great powers, including European ones, were overwhelmingly responsible for keeping a notorious regime in power for such a long time.
Mais je ne m’associerai certainement pas aux manifestations d’autosatisfaction des institutions européennes, qui ont même l’outrecuidance de prétendre avoir contribué de manière significative à la disparition du régime d’apartheid en Afrique du Sud, alors que la responsabilité des grandes puissances, y compris européennes, est écrasante dans le maintien d’un régime infâme pendant aussi longtemps.
