È stata quella che il presidente François Hollande aveva chiamato la “marcia per la Repub- blica”, una manifestazione di tutti i francesi, uniti, oltre le diversità politiche, in difesa della libertà di stampa, in difesa delle istituzioni repubblicane, in difesa della democrazia, della tolleranza e contro l’oscurantismo e il terrorismo di matrice islamista. L’abbiamo vista tutti in diretta televisiva ed è stato uno spettacolo incredibile di passione, di orgoglio, di parte- cipazione e di dolore. È stato come se all’improvviso tutta la Francia si fosse resa conto che qualcuno e qualcosa di terribile aveva attaccato il Paese, la sua laicità, le sue tradizioni di ospitalità, il suo essere rifugio, da sempre, per i fuggitivi dai totalitarismi, i suoi non sempre riusciti tentativi di integrazione, il suo voler pagare il debito di un passato coloniale mai dimenticato. Insomma, una Francia, scossa dalle stragi nel cuore della città, colpita all’improvviso da qualcosa di imprevedibile e ingiusto che tutti hanno sentito sulla pelle, come è successo per l’attacco terrorista a Copenaghen. Una ferita anche all’orgoglio della Francia della Rivoluzione, dell’illuminismo e di Voltaire.

On behalf of the European Parliament, I express our sincere condolences to their families and their friends. I also wish the injured a speedy recovery. Dear Colleagues, Seventeen people died. These cartoonists, these journalists, these policemen, these employees, these Jewish citizens died because they defended and because they embodied what fanatics do not want: Criticism. Humor. Satire.

It is up to us to respond. There are many dangers: We must not minimise our freedom of thought or revise downward our European values in the face of violence and Kalashnikovs. We must not let fear, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and hatred of others eat away the values that define us: the freedom of the press and freedom of expression, tolerance and mutual respect.
