Several politicians, including National Unity Party (RN) leader Marine Le Pen, observed a minute of silence for 12-year-old Lola Davies, whose death was revealed last Friday. In response to the heinous murder, Le Pen said in a statement, “A law exists, but it is not enforced. That is the issue.” Criticizing the government’s immigration policy, Le Pen said, “Too many crimes and misdemeanors are committed by illegal immigrants we don’t want or can’t repatriate.”
Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.
The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.
Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.
Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
