Jean-Claude Frécon: shooting in Toulouse: “a heinous, cold-blooded crime”
[19/03/2012]
Following today’s attack in Toulouse, Jean-Claude FRECON (SOC), President of the Congress’s Chamber of Local Authorities and French Senator, said “I am horrified by the shooting at the school in Toulouse which has claimed the lives of a teacher and three pupils. This heinous crime, deliberately targeting defenceless children, was very probably driven by anti-Semitic hatred. This further adds to the horror of what has happened. My thoughts go first of all to the families and friends of the victims. They can be assured that the whole of France stands by them in their grief. I am deeply touched to see that all our European colleagues meeting here in Strasbourg are expressing the same feelings of sadness and solidarity.”
Jean-Claude Frécon : fusillade de Toulouse : « un crime odieux, froidement perpétré »
[19/03/2012]
Le Président de la Chambre des pouvoirs locaux du Congrès et sénateur français Jean-Claude FRECON (SOC) a déclaré aujourd’hui après l’attentat de Toulouse : « Je suis horrifié par la fusillade du collège de Toulouse qui a provoqué la mort de quatre personnes, un professeur et trois élèves. Ce crime odieux, visant délibérément des enfants sans défense est très vraisemblablement dicté par une haine antisémite. C’est un degré supplémentaire dans l’horreur de cet acte. Mes pensées vont d’abord aux familles des victimes, à leurs amis, à leurs proches. Ils doivent savoir dans leur douleur que la communauté nationale française est tout entière à leurs côtés. Je suis très ému de constater que tous nos collègues européens rassemblés ici à Strasbourg nous témoignent les même sentiments de tristesse et de solidarité».
