En effet Monsieur BINEMO, je soutiens votre approche car l'état d'urgence
vient tout juste d'être levé il ya une heure par le Président de la
République et nous pouvons reprendre avec les rassemblements officiels tout
en respectant les mesures barrières. Je reste confiant que les rencontres
physiques se feront très bientôt et nous aurons les votes physiques tout en
travaillant sur un meilleur système à l'avenir.
Cordialement...
