How beautiful they were this team of 'Bleus' who were not blue but black, blond, beur and yellow. No it wasn't a dream but a revelation. That night we saw ourselves affirmed as better, because we saw ourselves more as friends, than usual.
We are not going to quickly let go of this France so mixed up with tenderness, generosity and hence victory, which that night uncovered. But night is short lets follow it up.
Nothing was missed from that festival of a whole people ... except the contents of a single Stade de France. The 75,000 Sans-papiers were missing. 'All together' without them: what a pity. Impossible.
So, you who govern, take a chance. It is your chance to play. Convert the
try. Pass from the symbolic to reality: because that is the mission of the
political worker. Regularise. Achieve the supreme goal!
Give us the gift of a full stadium of the forgotten. Allow the rejected
into this beautiful story. And above all, dont hesitate. Thousands of
faces, lit up with colour throughout the country are the best political
indications. Go on! This is the moment! The exploit of the 22-23 is
exemplary: courage pays at the end of the day.
And you, 'real' French of all human colours, join us, call for the liberation of a stadium of Sans-papiers.
Quickly, quickly, sign. This is the moment. If not forgetfulness will take over and efface everything into greyness and danger.
