European leaders denounce political violence after shocking Trump shooting – POLITICO

by

“Political violence has no place in a democracy,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on X, saying she was “deeply shocked by the shooting.” 

“Political violence is absolutely unacceptable in a democracy,” European Council President Charles Michel. “I strongly condemn the attack on former President Donald Trump.”

France’s President Emmanuel Macron, who has been under fire over the past weeks for having thrown the country into a prolonged political gridlock, said the shooting was a “tragedy for our democracies.” He added: “France shares the shock and indignation of the American people.”

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wished Trump a speedy recovery and said she hoped that the rest of the U.S. election campaign “will see dialogue and responsibility prevail over hatred and violence.”

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who is poised to become the new EU foreign policy chief, stressed that “political violence in any form has no justification.”

Newly elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also firmly denounced all forms of political violence. “I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump’s rally and we send him and his family our best wishes,” Starmer said on X. “Political violence in any form has no place in our societies.”
