Ce reproche a même enivré les hommes politiques, qui, comme Tintin, découvraient seulement le Congo, ce qui manque totalement de sens: à vrai dire, il n’y aurait probablement jamais eu d’élections au Congo sans les efforts inlassables du commissaire Michel.
This reproach intoxicated even those politicians, who, like Tintin, had only discovered Congo, and it makes no sense whatsoever: the truth is that there would probably never have been elections in Congo had it not been for Commissioner Michel’s unstinting efforts.
