Dialog
Léon Blum
I accept this charge not merely as an individual, but as the representative of a collective will—one that seeks to reconcile social justice with the preservation of our republican institutions.
President Lebrun
The Republic entrusts you with this mandate, Monsieur Blum, in accordance with constitutional procedure and the expressed will of the Chamber.
Journalist

Léon Blum

President Lebrun
The Palace will issue the customary communiqué regarding the government's formation. All further inquiries should await that document.
