"Ladies and gentlemen, a tragic incident took place in the town of Nanterre in France on the night of Tuesday 26 March. An armed man gunned down members of the municipal council during a council meeting, leaving eight councillors dead and fourteen very seriously wounded.
May I express my deepest condolences and sympathy on behalf of the European Parliament to the town of Nanterre, to the municipal council and to the victims' families. I should also like to praise the courage of the members of the council who managed to overpower the intruder.
Elsewhere, Juán Priede Pérez, the only Socialist councillor in the village of Orio in the Basque country, was murdered by two terrorists on 21 March. The House sent its condolences and sympathy to Mr Priede's family and to the Chairman of the Spanish Socialist party the very same day. We also sent a message of support to the Spanish authorities. In murdering Juán Priede Pérez, the terrorists demonstrated yet again that they deny not only the right to life but, in this case, the right to life of a man who had dedicated himself to the welfare of his fellow citizens. They even deny the right to attend local political events and the right to exercise democratic rights.
Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to join me in a minute's silence for these two incidents."@en1
