Monsieur le Président de la Chambre des Représentants,
Monsieur le Président de la Chambre des Conseillers,
The President of the Assembly of Representatives,
The President of the Assembly of Councillors,
May I extend to you my sincere condolences on my own account and on behalf of all members of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly on the occasion of the terrorist attack which rocked your country yesterday.
Attacks on civilians are always cruel and cowardly acts, contrary to all fundamental human values. On behalf of the Parliamentary Assembly, I firmly condemn this outrage.
At this difficult moment, I would be grateful if you could convey our sincere condolences to the families of the victims, and a message of support and comfort to the injured.
I beg you to accept, Mr President of the Assembly of Representatives and Mr President of the Assembly of Councillors, the assurance of my highest consideration.
