• - Monsieur le Président, Mesdames et Messieurs, le concept de trêve olympique, ou , qui signifie «lever les mains» - c’est fou comme le grec garde toute sa pertinence quand il s’agit d’exprimer une activité politique - est aussi vieux que les jeux Olympiques eux-mêmes, lorsque, afin que les jeux puissent avoir lieu, l’inviolabilité de l’Olympie était protégée, de telle sorte que ceux qui allaient regarder ou participer aux concours soient sains et saufs.

  Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the concept of an Olympic truce or ‘ekecheiria’, meaning ‘raise your hands’ – the Greek language is still extraordinarily relevant when it comes to conveying political activity – is as ancient as the Olympics themselves, when, in order that the games could take place, the inviolability of Olympia was guaranteed, so that those who went to watch or participate in the contests remained unharmed.
