This touching speech, the Franco-Greek MEP Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, also present for this important moment, sharing. “I only express my gratitude to what the French Republic is. Me, the son of the tenth arrondissement tailor and the nurse who came as a young woman for a better life. This better life, France has given it to us. I had access to the same education as a native Frenchman. I had access to French nationality at the age of 18he declares in front of the assembly who came to greet him. And not only was I able, not to become someone else but as Parmenides said (…) ‘become what you are when you have found it’. France helped me to find myself, to build myself. We all want to become someone when we start our life, to find a way, to express ourselves.“
