“What occurred in London is the atrocity of a barbarism. Peaceful people should mobilise”
Press Statement by Fausto Bertinotti, Chair of the European Left Party
Once again violence is upsetting the world. Any place, any city, any
country may become a stage for devastation and death. Women and men of
any ethnic group, any age, any social condition are seeing their
innocent lives destroyed. This is the atrocity of a barbarism.
Today terrorism is upsetting London and the world. The spiral of war and
terrorism is the terrifying background — both are the enemies of
humanity. Last Saturday in Edinburgh a big white-clad march addressed
poverty and war in peaceful and nonviolent language. Now the anti-war
movement should become a key player in a worldwide mobilisation against
terrorism and war. Only the people can stop this horrible violence.
