| 1. A variable-section nozzle for a turbomachine, said nozzle comprising:
a plurality of movable flaps that form a ring,
a flap control system comprising control levers each associated with a respective movable flap, the control levers comprising
both controlled levers that are actuated directly by actuators, and follower levers that are actuated by the controlled levers
via transmission links,
wherein, when the turbomachine is not running such that no exhaust stream passes through the ring formed by the movable flaps,
the flaps associated with the follower levers present a radial offset relative to the flaps associated with controlled levers.
