I strongly condemn the brutal attack on the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico. Political violence is incompatible with democracy and with the fundamental principles and values of our Union. My thoughts are with Mr. Fico and his family.

📣 Young Europeans are engaged and active in policy and decision-making.
