“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.
