As the public were taking a seat, awaiting for the Congress to start, the various professors on stage were chating, while the mics were off.
At some point, when most of the people here were settled, the Professor Marques stood, mic on, and addressed the assembly :
"Mesdames et messieurs, Bienvenue au Premier Congrès Socialiste de Gallia.
I'm very proud flattered, and optimistic at the same time, to see that many people interrested in the subjects presented before this fair assembly.
I'd like to remind everyone that everyone will be able to speak if one wishes to, provided the person asks for it first, and that various conference rooms will be availables.
Once again, i'd like to thank my colleagues Professor B.Marlin, C.Durand and Professor M.Lelouche for organizing this event, aswell as the University Michel Simon, for allowing us to use its premises."
Waiting for the applause to end, the Professor carried on :
" Now as it would be rude and pretentious of myself to speak first, i'll let someone from this fine assembly doing it.
So who wants to address this assembly first ?"
