🇫🇷🇩🇿 À nos frères et sœurs d’Algérie ! C’est avec une profonde émotion et une grande tristesse que je pense aujourd’hui au peuple algérien, durement frappé par les incendies qui touchent plusieurs régions du pays. Derrière ces incendies, il y a des vies bouleversées, des familles endeuillées, des maisons détruites, des souvenirs emportés et une immense douleur. Mes premières pensées vont aux victimes et à leurs familles. Je leur adresse, au nom de Saint-Denis, de Pierrefitte-sur-Seine et de Plaine Commune, mais aussi en mon nom personnel, mes condoléances les plus sincères et toute mon affection fraternelle. Je pense également à celles et ceux qui, jour et nuit, se battent contre les flammes : nos frères et sœurs sapeurs-pompiers, les équipes de secours, les bénévoles et tous les citoyens qui se mobilisent avec courage et générosité. Dans l’épreuve, le peuple algérien montre une nouvelle fois sa force, sa dignité et sa capacité à se rassembler. Partout en Algérie et au sein de la diaspora, les gestes de solidarité se multiplient. Ils nous rappellent que, face à la douleur, nous sommes plus forts lorsque nous sommes unis. À toutes celles et ceux qui souffrent aujourd’hui, je veux simplement dire : nous pensons à vous, nous sommes avec vous et nous partageons votre peine. Entre la France et l’Algérie, entre Saint-Denis, Pierrefitte-sur-Seine et toutes les familles qui ont un lien avec cette terre, il existe des histoires, des liens humains et familiaux qui rendent cette douleur profondément proche de nous. À l’Algérie, à son peuple et à toutes les familles touchées : toute ma solidarité, toute mon amitié et toute ma fraternité. 🇩🇿❤️🇫🇷 Bally BAGAYOKO Maire de Saint-Denis / Pierrefitte-sur-Seine Président de Plaine Commune #Algérie #Solidarité #Fraternité
