Terrorist attack in Barcelona
24 August 2017 | Corporate news
The European Institute of the Mediterranean wants to make public its rejection and strong condemnation of the attacks that have taken place in Barcelona, our city, and Cambrils and to express our condolences to the families of the victims.
For an institution such as the IEMed, with the mission of promoting, through dialogue and cooperation, peace, prosperity and the rapprochement of the peoples and cultures of the Mediterranean, the recourse to indiscriminate violence against civilians is unjustifiable.
Once again we are witnessing an attack on essential values such as freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights. And again we want to remind the importance of the need to combine security strategy with measures to prevent radicalization, not to oversize the power of Daesh and not to fall into the trap of stigmatization of an entire community.
