Macron Suspends Party's EU Election Campaign After Notre Dame Fire - Candidate
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The French presidential majority campaign for the upcoming European elections is suspended after a devastating fire in the iconic Notre Dame cathedral in the centre of Paris, a candidate on the electoral list Renaissance said Tuesday.
"We are experiencing a moment of profound sadness. List Renaissance is naturally joining this moment of national unity. We are suspending the campaign until further notice," Nathalie Loiseau, a candidate on the electoral list Renaissance said on Twitter.
The remark comes after Monday's fire left the cathedral heavily damaged. French President Emmanuel Macron has described the incident as a "terrible tragedy" and promised to rebuild the 850-year-old cathedral.
The French heritage foundation has launched a fundraising campaign, while a number of foreign officials have offered condolences and support to France. People in Moscow and Washington have brought flowers to the French embassies in their respective cities.
