Police and gendarmerie reinforcements are expected for this Sunday, March 20 in Toulouse to close the neighborhoods of the Halle aux grains and the Ohr Torah school.
The President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, his counterpart from the State of Israel, Isaac Herzog, former Presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, former Prime Ministers Jean-Marc Ayrault, Manuel Valls, Bernard Cazeneuve, François Fillon and Edouard Philippe, and dozens of personalities gathered around the relatives of the victims of the Islamist attacks in Toulouse and Montauban… The commemoration organized this Sunday, March 20, at the Halle aux grains, by the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France of Toulouse Midi Pyrénées, will be placed under very high security.
