As a European Union member state, as a country committed throughout all its history to the fight for the values that I have made my own, as the fifth world power, as a country that has marked my life and European Union houses part of European Union, France can act if it wishes to do so.

Every time we witness an act that we feel to be unjust and do not act, we become a party to injustice.
Julian Assange
