Nous comprenons les préoccupations exprimées et les prenons très au sérieux.
Compte tenu de la taille de notre délégation, la visite a été organisée en coordination avec les équipes de la tour Eiffel, au début des horaires habituels d’ouverture, afin de limiter autant que possible toute gêne pour les autres visiteurs.
À notre connaissance, à aucun moment l’accès à la tour Eiffel n’a été refusé à qui que ce soit.
Nous tenons néanmoins à présenter nos sincères excuses à toute personne qui aurait pu être blessée ou gênée par cette situation.
Nous sommes profondément attachés aux valeurs universelles de respect mutuel et de service aux autres.
We respect the concerns raised and take them very seriously.

To the best of our knowledge, at no point was anyone prevented access to the Eiffel Tower.
Nevertheless, we sincerely apologise for any pain or inconvenience caused.
We believe in the universal values of mutual respect and service.

A history that celebrates Churchill’s defiance while erasing the suffering inflicted in the name of empire is not history—it is whitewashed mythology. If we need a symbol of resistance to oppression, why Churchill? How about Nelson Mandela?
…while denying the legitimacy of self-determination to its colonies. Resistance to one form of domination does not absolve complicity in another.
Churchill’s opposition to Nazi tyranny did not arise from a consistent commitment to universal human freedom,…
