Translate the following English sentence to French:
"As the Communist dictatorship under which they previously suffered obviously did not foster a culture of pluralist debate, many forms of expression of national identity appear to us to be overstretched or even to be directed, indirectly, against minorities within the country or in one or more neighbouring countries."
Vu que la dictature communiste qu'ils ont eu à subir n'a pas, par nature, favorisé une culture de discussion pluraliste, certaines formes d'expression de l'identité nationale nous paraissent sciemment ou indirectement tournées contre les minorités nationales ou l'un ou l'autre État voisin.
