We can only hope that this will shake things up a bit. We are not completely naive and we know that defense secrets exist in practically all countries, in all democracies, but more or less in a virulent way.
What we can hope for is that at least it can lead to thinking a little more about the lock.
There were attempts … There is the impression that the President of the Republic – whether in the Maurice Audin affair or for Rwanda – would like us to have easier access to documents, to archives classified as a defense secret …
But in reality we realize that despite this presidential election, the secret is still there and I would almost say that it is still more and more locked. Of course, this letter from the UN can only go in our direction.
