STORYLINE:
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned on Friday the widespread attacks on the French train network.
“This is something that must absolutely be condemned; disturbing such a festival of peace with acts of violence can never be accepted and demands the most determined rejection,” Scholz said in Paris ahead of the Olympic Games opening ceremony later in the day.
“I hope the French authorities will soon be successful in identifying the perpetrators,” he added.
France’s high-speed rail network was hit on
Friday with acts of vandalism including arson attacks, paralyzing travel to Paris from across the rest of France and Europe only hours before the grand opening ceremony of the Olympics.
