The head of state will participate, at the invitation of the President of the French Republic, François Hollande in the manifestation organized in memory of the victims of the armed attacks which took place in Paris this week, from Wednesday through Friday.

‘Facing the barbarian attacks which took place in France, Europe and the entire free world show their unity and solidarity. Our thoughts and hearts were next to the French citizens from the very beginning of these attacks. The presence, next to other heads of state and government in Paris will give a strong signal of Romania’s desire of involvement in the fight against terrorism and extremism of any kind,’ the document sent on Saturday to Agerpres by the Presidential Administration read.

President Klaus Iohannis added that the ample demonstration which is to take place in Paris is not only a condemnation of the attack over the French magazine, but also of the anti-Semitism.

‘By participating in this march against hatred and violence, we condemn not only the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine, but the anti-Semitism that led yesterday to other murders in a Jewish shop in Paris, too,’ the head of state said.AGERPRES
