The press release from the town of Châtenay-Malabry, dated Monday, October 19th, strongly condemns the violence that has affected town halls and businesses across France. These acts are described as crossing an unacceptable threshold and must be unequivocally condemned, as they attack not only institutions but also the public liberties of all French citizens.
At the call of the Association of Mayors of France, Mayor Carl Segaud invites the residents of Châtenay-Malabry to gather in front of the Hôtel de Ville this Monday, October 19th at 12 PM. The aim is to affirm unity in the face of these attacks on democracy, express solidarity with the affected municipalities, their teams, their residents and shopkeepers, and to show gratitude to law enforcement and emergency services.
The town calls on all vital forces – elected officials, staff, associations, shopkeepers, and residents – to join this gathering to express their support.
