Europe unites to condemn ‘horrific assassination’ of Trump ally Charlie Kirk
Italian leader Giorgia Meloni calls the shooting “a deep wound for democracy.”
The killing of American conservative influencer Charlie Kirk sparked a wave of condemnation from European leaders across the political spectrum overnight.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, from the center-right European People’s Party, said she was “shocked at the horrific assassination.”
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, from the center-left Labour Party, rebuked political violence and said his thoughts are with Kirk’s loved ones.
“It is heartbreaking that a young family has been robbed of a father and a husband. We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear — there can be no justification for political violence,” Starmer said.
