but what about in the future? we must ask this question. will remain in a society where some people would like to reduce history to 120 characters. commemorated the victims of the first world war we must remember that it's a culture, it's our motive living the they were attacking and we must never forget that. we must never forget that some of these never occur again.

we are here to remember together life would like to think for paris in particular so that the members of the two associations of victims of the november 13 events are able to be here side-by-side. we are all victims on it of footing. the parents, the spouses, the children and the survivors. took on our functions in 2017 and that was our purprpose. our associations are not identical. we have our owown pathway but we share the same goal. helping our members who have all suffered the same trauma. occasionally we may have differing opinions on some topics. but we are fighting this fight together.

we do not want the victims to be instrumentalist. the victims of the novembeber 13 attackck we don't want the image to be exploited for political purposes. lead totong g that could hatred and passion. this is what we are fighting against. it's up to show andnd prove and exexplain the people we are talking with. the ministerial authorities. if compensation bebe paid to victims that there be payment for damages. pain-and-suffering on the part of family members. today is not the day to remind

you of our demands. today we are here to remember. listenmber but also to to the musicals were tribute. this represents a life choice of those who were attacked. this music which expresses the well to live and future hope. we decided that each of our associations would choose a piece of m music. we could have chosen eric clapp songome -- eric clapton because i'm particularly fond of eric clapton. but also because he actually int their son -- a son different circumstances. he fell from a tall building during the 9/11 attacks in new york. there's a piece in his recent ifum called is in heaven --

in heaven and he says, i must be strong and carry on. that those words will be my conclusion. those lyrics are what we are all going through three at three years later we are still here. we havave suffered go we are stl standing and we will continue along the pathway of resilience. there was a before and nothing will ever be like it was before but there is an after and therefore we must all be strong. and continue moving forward. thank you.
