On the quote of Georges Pompidou: "[the building] was the only good thing those Commies have ever done".
That translation is a much less neutral than what he actually said. He said "c'est la seule bonne chose que les communistes aient faite", which is quite neutrally: "this is the only good thing that the Communists have done". No "Commies" (I'm not even sure that there's an equivalent in French) or "those Commies".
