Statement namens Liberale Internationale over terroristische aanslagen in Noorwegen (en) - Hoofdinhoud
LI President Hans van Baalen MEP has conveyed his condolences to the Norwegian Government and Parliament and to the LI Member Party Venstre of Norway following the loss of more than 90 lives in the terrorist attacks last Friday. “The condolences of Liberal International go to Norwegian society, the family and relatives of the victims and to those wounded in, as it seems, a ruthless terrorist attack on the government buildings in central Oslo and on the resort of the Norske Arbeiderpartiet (Norwegian Labour Party) at Utøya — all conducted by a single right wing extremist maniac. As Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said, 'paradise turned into a hell but Norway must remain an open and democratic society and must not turn into a fortress'.
LI appeals on its member parties to ask their Governments to assist Norway on its request.
