“Increvable”, indestructible, it says on Charlie Hebdo’s first issue for 2025, reports Le Monde. On January 7, 2015, the editorial office of the satirical magazine was attacked by two armed Islamists. Twelve people were killed.
The terrorist attack is said to have been revenge for pictures that the newspaper published of the Prophet Muhammad.
“Satire has a special ability that has been able to get us through these tragic years: optimism,” writes editor-in-chief Riss, who survived the attack, in an editorial.
French President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo will hold a memorial service at the newspaper’s former office where the attack took place.
