Although Venelles was not directly affected by the weekend's violence, the town hall wishes to express its solidarity with the cities, elected officials, public servants, and shopkeepers who were victims. The call comes from the Association of Mayors of France.
In the face of this violence, elected officials and community leaders of the territory reaffirm their absolute commitment to respect for institutions and democracy. They also commend the dedication of law enforcement and emergency services mobilized on the ground.
Defending the Republic means preserving our freedoms, our institutions, and our coexistence. Solidarity between municipalities is essential: republican values unite and commit us.
All residents of Venelles are invited to join this gathering in front of the town hall.
