Seven years from the Strasbourg attacks  

 

Seven years from the Strasbourg attacks  

Strasbourg  
 
 

At the opening of the Plenary Session, the European Parliament recalled the terrorist attacks at the Christmas Markets in Strasbourg in 2018, in which five people lost their lives.

       

Last week marked the anniversary of the terrorist attack of 11 December 2018 at the Christmas market in Strasbourg during a Plenary Session - a night so many of us remember all too well. Five people lost their lives. Eleven others were injured.
 
Tomorrow, at 13:30 outside in the Agora Geremek, immediately after the votes, we will come together to pay tribute to them - including the young journalists Antonio Megalizzi from Italy and Bartosz Orent-Niedzielski from Poland.
 
We will remember them and their commitment to Europe. 
 
I invite you all to join me tomorrow, and I count on your presence.
