Description

‘Velen brachten het hoogste offer voor onze vrijheid. Vandaag bewijzen wij de eer aan hen’ –Minister-president Rutte bij de Nederlands-Franse herdenking in Arromanches, Normandie.

Vandaag wordt herdacht dat 70 jaar geleden de geallieerden voet aan land zetten in Normandië, waarmee de bevrijding van Europa en het eind van de Tweede Wereldoorlog in zicht kwam. 

‘De compromisloze keuze voor herstel van vrijheid en menselijke waardigheid die toen werd gemaakt, moet ook de onze zijn. Steeds weer. Elke dag opnieuw’, zo sloot de premier af.

In Arromanches werden in augustus 1944 de militairen van de Nederlandse Koninklijke Brigade ‘’Prinses Irene” aan wal gezet. Zestien veteranen van de Prinses Irene Brigade waren bij de herdenking aanwezig. De minister-president legde, evenals het Koninklijk paar, een krans voor de gevallenen en sprak met enkele aanwezige veteranen. Volledige speech terug te lezen via is.gd/j5NIwy.
