Excerpt from the broadcast speech of General De GAULLE at the time when Algiers is in a state of insurrection: "while the guilty, who dream of being usurpers, use the decision I made about Algeria as a pretext, let it be known everywhere, let it be known, that I will not return to it. To give in on this point and under these conditions would be to burn in Algeria the assets that we still have, but it would also be to lower the State in the face of the contempt that is done to it and the threat that targets it. As a result, France would be nothing more than a poor toy dislocated on the ocean of adventures. Once again, I call on the French, wherever they may be, to meet in France. Long live the Republic! Long live France! "
