Manuel Valls calls for workable change in Syria at MSC

“The solution cannot only be a military one, we need to organize a sustainable transition toward peace,” Valls said, while addressing the Munich Security Conference (MSC) on the second day during a session of prime ministers’ debate with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

He also pointed out that this process would be a long one, so a true ceasefire and humanitarian assistance to besieged populations need to be organized without delay.

Valls said the newly-reached agreement on Syria negotiated in Munich is an important step that should be welcomed. But it needs to be materialized.

“Only the facts matter,” he reiterated.

In addition, Valls said that more than 1,000 French citizens or people living in France are now part of jihadist groups that are related to IS, and thousands people have been influenced by the ideology. Even a certain number of women as well are taking part in these networks.

At the end he calls for a collective answer amongst Europeans, which requires being more efficient and a lot faster when implementing decisions that have been made. Enditem
