President Iohannis lays wreath of flowers at “La Belle Équipe” restaurant in Paris where two Romanians died following terror attacks

While in Paris on Sunday night, president Klaus Iohannis laid a wreath of flowers at “La Belle Équipe” restaurant, one of the targets of the terrorists on the night of November 13 and where two Romanian citizens have also died. Iohannis voiced hope that terrorism and extremism would be fought.

“It’s the place where innocent people, including two Romanian citizens, lost their lives. Besided the grief and the emotion that stream from this place, the prevalent feeling is the ones of revolt and hope at the same time. Revolt for a bunch of fanatics caused so much pain, and hope that only by joining our forces we’ll be able to fight terrorism and extremist violence, to defend our values and freedom so hardly gained,” the Romanian president posted on Facebook.
