Hollande calls for "firm" and "collective" response against terrorism

"Our response must be tough on terrorism, but it can only be collective"

French President presented his greetings to the diplomatic corps, ie, foreign ambassadors in France. This speech is held every year at this time but this year he took on particular importance, because of the wave of terrorist attacks last week in Paris.

In his speech, the Head of State called for "firm" answer and "collective" to terrorism. He also said that Europe must toughen its features, including better control the borders or establish data exchange on sensitive travelers.

He also called for action on the internet.

It is necessary, he has said, "aware (...) of the use made by the terrorists of this technology (...) to spread their messages, make recruiting new jihadists, even give them the means to take action. " "We must act with all stakeholders to the internet can not be a way to prepare and commit terrorist acts," he said.

"This is not a war against a religion, it is a war against hate," he continued, arguing that "the attacks in Paris are an insult to Islam and in the world" and that "it is the Muslims who are (...) the first victims of terrorism."

"The most sustainable answers, he finally stated, it is united and firm action in favor of peace and international security. For unresolved conflicts are sources of inspiration for terrorists and chaos areas of training places. "
