"Here, I am looking for a document issued by a public attorney. I don't find. He is accused by the political leaders of the coalition, by his enemies, who said that he is guilty. That he deserves to be killed"

About this Quote

This quote by Jacques Verges is a commentary on the political climate of the time. It talks to the power of allegation and the lack of proof to back it up. The speaker is trying to find a document provided by a public lawyer, but is unable to discover one. This suggests that the accusations versus the accused are baseless and without merit. The speaker likewise keeps in mind that the accused is being accused by politicians of the union and his enemies, who are declaring that he is guilty and deserves to be killed. This speaks with the power of accusation and the absence of proof to back it up. It also speaks with the risk of incorrect allegations and the potential for innocent people to be wrongly accused and punished. This quote functions as a suggestion of the importance of due procedure and the requirement for evidence to back up any accusations.
