Macron: Slain French officer symbolized ‘French spirit of resistance’

French President Emmanuel Macron pays tribute to the heroic policeman who died after swapping himself for a hostage in a jihadist attack, saying he symbolized the “French spirit of resistance.”

Addressing mourners at a solemn ceremony at the Invalides military museum in Paris, Macron compares Arnaud Beltrame’s sacrifice to those of France’s World War II heroes and said his example would “remain etched in French hearts.”
