The surviving staff at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo has announced that the next issue will be released next week as planned, despite yesterday’s attack that left twelve people dead.
Charlie Hebdo will publish next Wednesday to defiantly show that “stupidity will not win,” said columnist Patrick Pelloux, adding that the remaining staff will soon meet.
“It’s very hard. We are all suffering, with grief, with fear, but we will do it anyway because stupidity will not win,” he said.
The publication will be put-together outside of the headquarters, Pelloux added, due to the fact that the building is still blockaded by police.
Some social media forums are already speculating that next’s edition will be the best-selling issue of Charlie Hebdo of all time.
As stated, it comes out on Wednesday.
