Re: Translation
That's not what it says at all. Don't pay any attention to AC, I also speak French (or at least I learned a bit during the third form).
> "La présence du Français Benoît Battistelli à la tête de l’Office nuit aujourd’hui gravement à l’image de notre pays"
Means,
" The presense of Benoît Battistelli's head in the night office today is a picture of the grave of our bread".
I'm sure that's correct.
