"Emmanuel Macron told us that the whole truth must be done"
The victims' association is now calling on Emmanuel Macron to find out the truth almost 50 years after the tragedy. "Emmanuel Macron told us that the whole truth must be done: if he is committed, he must do what is necessary so that we can live the rest of our lives peacefully for us and all the families who are waiting ", continued Mathieu Paoli.
