Staff and members of UNI Europa and its sister organisation FIA meeting today in the offices of UNI Europa paid tribute to the victims of the attack on Charlie Hebdo and sent a message of solidarity to their colleagues and friends in France.

In  a letter to French affiliates, Oliver Roethig, Regional Secretary of UNI Europa said "We are all shocked and appaled by the deadly attacks on Charlie Hebdo. Our thoughts are with the families and colleagues of the journalists, police men and workers killed and injured in the attack. Yes, we are all Charlie and we share the pain and grief of our French brothers and sisters."

Without freedom of expression our societies are not free. Workers and their unions cannot fight for their liberties. The attack on Charlie Hebdo targeted all of us. UNI Europa joins the French colleagues in this day of mourning and will continue to fight for freedom of expression and  a tolerant, open and diverse Europe.
