President sent condolences to his Israeli counterpart Shimon Peres

The President of the Republic addressed a message of condolences to his Israeli counterpart, Shimon Peres, concerning the Israeli victims of the attempt occurred in Burgas, Bulgaria.

Following is the text of the message of condolences sent by President Cavaco Silva:

“I was deeply disturbed and shocked upon being advised of the horrific and cowardly attempt on a coach, in Burgas airport, carrying Israeli tourists, and from which resulted innocent and indefensible victims. We are facing an act which is an offence to the values on which our societies are based and that can only deserve our strongest condemnation and denial.

The Portuguese share the suffering of the People of Israel and, particularly, that of the victims’ families, to whom I beg Your Excellency to convey the feelings of our deepest regrets and solidarity.

Aníbal Cavaco Silva”
