Terrorist Attacks in Paris

On the occasion of the terrorist attacks that took place in Paris on 13 November 2015, the president of the International Pan-European Union, Alain Terrenoire, sent a message about that tragic event.

He thanked all Pan-European friends and members who expressed their compassion and solidarity with victims and their families.

In the message, he advocated for a united Europe that is able to protect its own values.

President's Message about the Terrorist Attacks in Paris

"During the night of the 13th November 2015, Paris was victim of several criminal attacks which killed 129 people and injured more than 350 persons, mostly young. These attacks have been claimed by Daesh / Islamic State and perpetrated by terrorists coming from France, from other European countries and from Middle East.

I do thank the Paneuropean members who had the friendship to send to me messages of compassion and solidarity in such painful circumstances.

Tragically, these attacks confirm the internal and external threats that Europe is facing.

More than ever, we need in Europe quickly an united power able to protect us and our countries against everybody who could want to dominate us and destroy our values."
