If we do not do it. we have two weights between conflicts like what is happening in the DRC, Ukraine or Gaza, we will no longer be credible. And that will be a problematic element for the long term. And I refuse to make it the case. So we will have to progress. I note, moreover, that today, especially on the side of the N-VA, there were openings that have been made. »»
