Social media users have praised what has been described as somewhat of a “fight back” against terrorism in France.
French President Emmanuel Macron has struck a defiant tone following the Muslim terror attack in Vienna that left four people dead and 17 injured.
The French leader insisted that Europe will not give into terror following the deadly attack in the Austrian capital and voicing support for the “friendly country” while also threatening retaliation for their shared “enemies.”
France itself has seen a spate of Muslim atrocities in recent weeks following the beheading of a schoolteacher who showed his class cartoons depicting Mohammed in a lesson on freedom of speech.
Tweeting in French and German, President Macron said:
“This is our Europe. Our enemies must know who they are dealing with. We will not give up anything.”
In the attack on Vienna on Monday night several gunmen armed with rifles randomly fired on civilian bystanders while one of the terrorists was killed however, the others remain at large.
France and several other European countries, including the UK have raised the terrorism alert level with more attacks expected.
