It is regrettable that at the time when the legislator became aware of the need for putting an end to punishable practices which existed at the time of the financing of the political parties, Mr. Juppe did not apply to his own party the rules that it had voted at the Parliament. It is also regrettable that Mr. Juppe, whose intellectual qualities are unanimously recognized, did not believe to have to assume in front of justice the whole of his criminal responsibilities and maintained the negation of established facts. However, Mr. Juppe devoted himself during many years to the service of the State, did not draw any personal enrichment from these infringements made for the benefit of the whole of the members of his party, of which it should not be the Scapegoat.
