Faced with this attack, which only deserves our condemnation and repulsion, we trust in solidarity among ordinary people to protect us from those who act with violence against innocents. Only in this way will we prevent terrorist violence fulfilling its purpose and providing an excuse to the brutal to try to instrumentalize the pain and anger we feel, fuelling hatred and using it to attack certain groups and destroy our rights and freedoms.
Today is a very painful day. All our affection, respect and solidarity with the people wronged by barbarism.
