European leaders condemn attack on Denmark’s prime minister
European leaders are continuing to speak out after Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, was hit by a man on Friday evening.
France’s Emmanuel Macron called the attack “unacceptable.”
Estonia’s Kaja Kallas said she was “deeply shocked.”
Ruslan Stefanchuk, chair of Ukraine’s parliament, said “the votes of our European friends who will participate in these elections will determine the fate of the world’s most successful unification project.”
“I sincerely believe that as a result, the European parliament will be led by responsible political forces that will be able to make it even stronger, safer and more comfortable for everyone. Not populists who seek to destroy the EU and create a shameful copy of the USSR 2.0 on its territory,” he said.
