00:24An additional reason to not give up anything.
00:27And may everyone be reassured, I will not give up anything.
00:33Humiliation, just like revenge, or the concept of a court of law, all this is the opposite
00:40of the idea that I make of justice.
00:43All this makes me horrified.
00:45Thousands of supporters gathered at Place Vauban near the tomb of Napoleon in Paris

00:56rally.
