“I want to find my daughter”: Lina’s mother speaks after the first day of the hunt to find her
Fanny, Lina’s mother, spoke on the sidelines of the citizen fight today. On BFMTV, she wanted to thank the volunteers who participated in the research.
“I thank everyone, all the people who participate. The gendarmerie for their responsiveness, all the people who support me, my family, my friends who have been there from the first minute,” she declares.
In tears, she confided that she wanted to find her daughter. “I want to find my daughter, I want her to be close to me. Like any mother, you will understand that it’s difficult, it’s torture to no longer have your children close to you. It’s something which I don’t wish on anyone, it’s a great pain,” she continued.
She also announced that another hunt would take place tomorrow.
