PARIS, Jan. 7 (Reuters) – Nicolas Sarkozy denounced the attack against the weekly Charlie Hebdo as “a despicable act which shocks the conscience of humanity” and called the French to make a “united front against terrorism.”
“This is a direct attack, wild, with one of our most cherished republican principles, freedom of expression,” said the former head of state from the headquarters of the UMP, which he took over the presidency.
“France is once again struck by the terrorist barbarism and blind violence. We must not give any inch of land, we must continue to say what we want to say and we must continue to live as we want to live. “
” The perpetrators of these barbaric acts must be prosecuted and punished with the utmost severity. Our democracy is under attack, we must defend without weakness. The absolute firmness is the only possible response, “he added had to call France to come together.
“I call on the French to reject the dangers of stereotyping and present a united front against terrorism, barbarism and murderers.
” The government must take strong measures against terrorism, we must raise our vigilance and our party will fully support all government initiatives that go in this direction, simply because, in these tragic hours is an imperative of national unity which no can and should avoid. “(Yann Le Guernigou, edited by Yves Clarisse)
