USR’s Barna: I strongly denounce the attack on the Slovak PM; violence and terrorism are not the answers
Dan Barna, the vice-president of the Foreign Policy Committee of the Chamber of Deputies and the deputy chairman of Save Romanian Union (USR), denounced the attack on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on Wednesday, emphasizing that terrorism and violence „cannot generate solutions.”
„Terrorism and violence were not and cannot be a solution under any circumstances. Regardless of one’s agreement or disagreement with one’s political views, violence and terrorism are not a solution and cannot generate solutions, all the more so in a Europe where dialogue has been, at least in recent decades, the way and the means by which many of the specific problems could be solved. I strongly condemn this attack and I am shocked and outraged that such a thing can still happen in Europe that we thought was forgotten in the history books at the beginning of the century,” said Dan Barna.
Additionally, he stated that such departures from a society’s equilibrium and tranquility can result from the radicalization of messaging.
„Until we have more information it is hard to put a label or draw a conclusion. But the message is this: violence and terrorism cannot be a solution. Indeed, the radicalisation of messages can generate such deviations from the balance and tranquillity of a society. It is a situation that must be condemned in the strongest possible terms and I hope that this will be supported by all rational leaders of Europe,” stated Dan Barna.
