France’s national day of homage

The French flag symbolizes a more right-wing, militaristic nationalism to many in the country.

The ceremony began with the president’s arrival on a cold and misty day to the sound of the national anthem La Marseillaise being played by the Republican Guard.

“Today the nation as a whole, this living strength, mourns the victims: 130 names, 130 lives taken away, 130 destinies usurped, 130 laughs that we will no longer hear, 130 voices that will never speak again”, Holland said. Hollande vowed that everything would be done to destroy what he called “the army of fanatics” but insisted that France would not change.

In May, French President Francois Hollande said that an agreement would be a “miracle,” but one that he was confident would happen.

Police in Germany believe they may have caught the man who sold Isis extremists the Kalashnikovs used to kill 130 people in Paris.

Belgian police have so far charged five men in connection with the coordinated attacks in Paris that killed 130 people on November 13.

He stated that the attackers had acted “in the name of an insane cause and a betrayed God” and that France would respond with more “songs, concerts and shows”.

A spokesperson said the originally unrelated investigation started when the man was found to be converting legal starter pistols into live firearms and selling them on the internet.

“The strikes against Daesh (IS) will be intensified and be the object of coordination”, Hollande said, adding that the military action would focus on the transportation of oil. They wanted to silence our joy with explosions. Well, they will not stop it. “We will continue to go to stadiums”. And we will commune in the best of emotions, without being troubled by our differences, our origines, our colors, our convictions, our beliefs, our religions.

“Because we are a single and unified nation with the same values”.

Shortly after the attacks, the French president declared a state of emergency and closed France’s borders within hours of the attacks.
