As France reels from the awful attacks in Paris, the EPP Group (Christian-Democrats) in the European Parliament blasted their colleagues on the left for their laissez-faire attitude towards terrorism, even in the immediate aftermath of such horrific attacks. In a press-release with the heading: ‘Paris attacks: terrorists would gleefully vote left’, the EPP goes at their colleagues on the left.
"It seems that for the Socialists, the Liberals, the Greens and the Communists, it is business as usual. For them there's no lesson to be drawn from the Paris attacks. These left-wing groups are basically inviting terrorists to use loopholes in our safety and security legislation in order to perpetrate other terror attacks" according to Monika Hohlmeier, the EPP Group Coordinator for Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.
The EPP is the political group to which Angela Merkel, Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk belong. And also Viktor Orban, the Hungarian Prime-Minister.
