This reproach intoxicated even those politicians, who, like Tintin, had only discovered Congo, and it makes no sense whatsoever: the truth is that there would probably never have been elections in Congo had it not been for Commissioner Michel’s unstinting efforts.
Ce reproche a même enivré les hommes politiques, qui, comme Tintin, découvraient seulement le Congo, ce qui manque totalement de sens: à vrai dire, il n’y aurait probablement jamais eu d’élections au Congo sans les efforts inlassables du commissaire Michel.
