A government spokesman Gabriel Attal has confirmed during the report of the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, April 14 that there will be a “time of mourning”.
“Obviously there will be a time of tribute and mourning for the Nation”, promised the government spokesman, specifying that President Emmanuel Macron has “already had the opportunity to talk about it in the Councils of Ministers.”
Gabriel Attal, however, remained evasive on the form that this tribute could take, as well as on the date on which it would intervene.
