“The idea is not to argue. It is a wish of the family. In these cases, we cannot do anything other than respect it”affirms Laurent Jacobelli. “We would have gone there because we think that as representatives of the people, we had our place there and we always go to national tributes”assures the spokesperson for the RN.
