Statement of the President of COMECE, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, following the terror attack in Nice:
“Last night, France has again been hit by a terrorist attack. More than 80 people were killed.
We are shocked and saddened by this act of war. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their relatives and friends.
I remain convinced that European civilization and the culture of freedom, to which France has contributed so much, will not be defeated by violence.”
