, Mickael Marin, has addressed the tragic knife attack that injured five people, including four children, on Thursday morning at the playground of a busy lakeside park, just days before the start of the international animation film festival.
“We are all shocked here. So far, the only thing that I can say is that we really hope that kids and other people injured will be fine. Of course, we will do something . For the time being, the only thing that we can do is to send our thoughts to the people who were attacked,” Marin toldTwo children and one adult are severely injured, according to France Info.
France’s political leaders immediately reacted to the attack on social media, including the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, and the interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, who are due to travel to Annecy today. While the peaceful city of Annecy is in a state of shock, it’s expected to host more than 14,000 guests, a record, for its animation film festival which kicks off on Sunday.
