The European Parliament should condemn the recent murders of American conservative political activist Charlie Kirk and Ukrainian refugee Irina Zaltoska, according to a resolution seen by the Euroneus, represented by the 84 right-wing MEPS.
Kirk’s shooting in Utah on September 10 and Zalzka’s stab wounds in North Carolina in August have been heavily condemned by US President Donald Trump.
Kirk’s murder has also become a point of discussion in Europe, with some leaders expressing their sadness. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called it “shocking” and “deep wounds of democracy,” and said that European Parliament President Roberta Metosola was “shocked by the absolutely horrifying assassination.”
A clash took place last Thursday at the European Parliament plenary session in Strasbourg. The right-wing Swedish Democrat MEP called for a minute of silence to commemorate Kirk’s death, rejected by the vice president of Congress, the socialist MEP Katarina Barley.
Now, several right-wing lawmakers want to vote for official resolutions by Congress, expressing solidarity with the families of the victims and calling for “zero tolerance” against political and extremist violence.
The resolution was facilitated by two Italian members, European far-right patriots (PFE) groups Susanna Seccardi and Paolo Borcia (League). “These cruel murders shock our consciences and show that political violence and ideological hatred can be indiscriminately attacked,” declared Seccardi and Bolchia in a joint statement seen by Euroneuz.
“Violence, ideological hatred and political intimidation must oppose zero tolerance in all democratic societies,” he reads the text, emphasizing that “the media should honestly report such attacks without soft-pedaling or restraining information.”
Other signatories of the resolution come primarily from the PFE group, but also from European conservatives and reformists, such as Dominic Tartian Chinsky in Poland, Carlo Fidanza in Italy, and Charlie Weimers in Sweden.
The resolution is now confirmed by the office of President Roberta Metosora of Parliament. He will then ultimately be appointed to the Presidential Conference, an agency formed by the president of the political group of parliament, and decide whether to be the agenda for the next plenary session, which will be held in Strasbourg from October 6th to 9th.
Other political groups are required to have their position on such resolutions.
