PARIS ATTACKS: President Francois Hollande: ‘France at war with cowards’
“France is at war,” Hollande told parliamentarians. “But we’re not engaged in a war of civilisations, because these assassins do not represent any.”
It was the first time in more than six years that a French president addressed both houses of parliament, the Senate and the National Assembly, convened in a so-called Congress at Versailles. It is a procedure reserved for constitutional revisions and major presidential speeches.
