Costa: Political violence has no place in public life
Brussels, April 26 (Hibya) - President of the European Council Antonio Costa described the events at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington as “extremely disturbing”.
Costa noted that thanks to the swift intervention of security forces, President Donald Trump, his wife and all guests were safely evacuated, emphasizing the importance of law enforcement in such situations. He added that the rapid response prevented potentially greater risks.
Stressing that political violence has no place in democratic life, Costa said: “Political violence has no place in public life and must be unequivocally rejected.” He also stated that such incidents pose a threat to freedom of expression and democratic institutions, calling on the international community for unity.
