M100 Media Award presented to Charlie Hebdo
17.09.2015 - Against the background of the 70th anniversary of the Potsdam Agreement, more than 50 top-class participants in this year’s M100 Sanssouci Colloquium on September 17 have discussed the current situation in Europe in three sessions. The goal of the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium is to create a constructive, intersectoral dialogue between representatives of politics, the media, journalism, relevant organisations and Internet companies on the heritage of the Potsdam Agreement and the prospects for a liberal democratic Europe in an increasingly blurred world order.
In the evening, German Foreign Minister Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier delivered the political keynote speech at the conclusion of this year's M100 Sanssouci Colloquium in Potsdam. Following the keynote speech, the M100 Media Award were presented to the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The award was accepted from the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Gérard Biard. The writer and defence lawyer Ferdinand von Schirach delivered the laudatory speech.
