In Denmark, several hundred people attended the funeral of Dan Uzan, one of the two victims of the attacks of Copenhagen. The Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt was present at the ceremony.
The Danish 37-year-Jewish was hit by a bullet in the head while he stood guard in front of a synagogue. Since the tragedy, the Jewish community has received many expressions of solidarity.
"It will not bring back Dan, but for the Jews of Denmark is an important support, emphasizes the former prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen. Many Danes laid flowers and lit candles in front of the synagogue. The population meant that we were all Jews, and could move freely in Denmark, regardless of religion. ''
Denmark has about 8,000 Jews, most of whom live in the capital Copenhagen. After the attacks, the community representative rejected the appeal of Benjamin Netanyahu to emigrate to Israel. '' We are Danish, and this is not the terror that will make us go, '' he had declared. '
