The elected officials of the Commune of Chancelade, representing both the majority and the opposition, along with municipal agents, have expressed their deep emotion and solidarity with the victims of the recent violence that affected several French cities, including the fire at the Limoges town hall.
In a joint statement, they firmly condemn the attacks on public buildings, their agents, and local businesses, considering these acts to be an assault on public service, community proximity, and collective life. They emphasize that a town hall is a place of welcome and listening for all citizens.
The statement insists that no grievance can justify violence, threats, or damage to property and persons, as such acts only hinder dialogue and weaken social cohesion. Particular support is extended to law enforcement, emergency services, and public officials who are working to ensure the continuity of public services.
“"No grievance can justify violence, threats, damage, or attacks on people and property. These acts only distance dialogue and weaken coexistence."
In Chancelade, officials reaffirm a shared conviction: demands and concerns must be heard within democratic debate, through dialogue and mutual respect. They recall their commitment to freedom of expression and assembly, advocating for listening and collective responsibility as the foundations of democratic discussion.
