The leader of the FLN declares: "This day is the day of the victory of the people who, thanks to their political conscience and their revolutionary vigilance, knew how to safeguard the unity of our ranks. The union of the people and its leaders is the best guarantee for the achievement of the historical objectives we set for ourselves on November 1, 1954. On this historic day, our thoughts are with our fallen brothers and sisters. The Political Bureau is reaching out to all activists, all activists, to rally around it for the construction of a democratic state where brotherhood and prosperity reign."
