COULD JUST PAUTZ FOR ONE SECOND. I’M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU,
WE’RE GOING TO GO TO THE FRENCH
PRESIDENT SPEAKING NOW
>> Translator: MANY HAVE BEEN
DESTROYED BY WAR, REVOLUTION,
MISTAKES MADE BY MAN
BUT EACH TIME, WE HAVE REBUILT
THEM
THEM THE FIRE AT NOTER DAME REMINDS
US THAT OUR HISTORY NEVER STOPS,
NEVER AND THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO
SUCCUMB TO THESE TYPE OF
OBSTACLES.
OBSTACLES. WHAT WE BELIEVE IN SOME WAYS, IS
INDESTRUCTIBLE CAN BE DESTROYED.
FOR THIS REASON IT’S FRAGILE
AND WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT.
IT’S FOR US, FRENCH PEOPLE TODAY
TO BE ABLE TO ASSURE THIS
CONTINUITY, WHICH IS THE FRENCH
NATION, IT’S FOR THIS REASON
TONIGHT THAT I WANTED IN A VERY
DIRECT WAY TO ADDRESS YOU,
BECAUSE IT’S OUR DUTY TODAY, AND
IT’S WHAT WE MUST KEEP IN MIND,
NOTHING LESS
NOTHING LESS I WILL COME BACK TO YOU LIKE I
HAD HAD SAID I WOULD IN THE NEXT
FEW DAYS, SO THAT WE CAN ACT
COLLECTIVELY FOLLOWING OUR GRAND
DEBATES.
DEBATES. IT’S NOT THE MOMENT TO DO THAT
NOW.
NOW. TOMORROW POLITICS AND WE’LL TAKE
OVER AGAIN
OVER AGAIN BUT THE MOMENT NOW -- IT’S NOT
THAT MOMENT NOW.
LET’S REMEMBER INSTEAD THESE
LAST HOURS, YESTERDAY EVENING.
THIS MORNING
THIS MORNING EVERYBODY GAVE WHAT THEY COULD
THE FIREMEN BATTLED THAT FIRE,
PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE.
POLICEMEN WERE THERE LIKE EVERY
OCCASION
OCCASION FRENCH PEOPLE WERE EMOTIONAL,
THEY TREMBLED.
THEY TREMBLED. PEOPLE FROM ABROAD CRIED,
JOURNALISTS WROTE AND
PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOWED THOSE
PHOTOS OF THE NOTRE DAME
CATHEDRAL, AND PEOPLE DONATED
WHAT THEY COULD.
EVERYBODY GAVE WHAT THEY COULD
EVERYBODY -- AND I SAY TO YOU
TONIGHT WITH STRENGTH, WE ARE
THAT PEOPLE WHO BUILDS
WE HAVE A LOT TO BUILD
WE WILL BUILD THE CATHEDRAL OF
NOTRE DAME EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN IT WAS, BUT THIS MUST BE
DONE IN FIVE YEARS
WE CAN DO THAT
AND WE WILL MOBILIZE TO DO THIS.
AFTER THIS TESTING TIME, WELL
REFLECT AND WE WILL ACT.
LET’S NOT BE TRAPPED BY WANTING
TO ACT TOO FAST.
I UNDERSTAND ALL THE PRESSURES,
I KNOW THIS FALSE IMPATIENCE
THAT WE HAVE TO ACT ON EVERY
INSTANCE AND ANNOUNCE WHAT WE’RE
GOING TO DO AT WHICH DATE, AS IF
TO BE THE HEAD OF A COUNTRY WAS
TO ADMINISTER THINGS AND NOT BE
CONSCIOUS OF THE HISTORY OF THE
TIME, AND I BELIEVE VERY DEEPLY
THAT WE CAN CHANGE THIS
CATASTROPHE IN AN OCCASION TO
COME TOGETHER, TO HAVE DEEPLY
THOUGHT TOGETHER ABOUT WHAT WE
WERE AND WHAT WE ARE TO BECOME
TO BECOME BETTER THAN WE ARE
TODAY.
TODAY. IT’S OUR DUTY TO FIND OUR
NATIONAL PROJECT
NATIONAL PROJECT THE ONE THAT MADE US, THAT
UNITES US.
UNITES US. A HUMAN PROJECT THAT’S
PASSIONATE LY
PASSIONATE LY PASSIONATELY FRENCH.
PASSIONATELY FRENCH. >> AND FRENCH PEOPLE AND PEOPLE
FROM ABROAD WHO LOVE PARIS, THAT
I SHARE YOUR PAIN.
BUT I ALSO SHARE YOUR HOPE
WE NOW HAVE TO ACT
AND WE WILL ACT.
AND WE WILL SUCCEED.
