There is a “huge risk of terrorist attacks in the European Union” over the coming holiday season, a senior EU official has said.
European Home Affairs Commission Ylva Johansson said the polarisation in society caused by the Israel-Hamas war was increasing the risk of violence.
Her remarks came days after a tourist was fatally stabbed in Paris.
The EU was making an additional €30m (£26m) available for additional security, Ms Johansson said.
She did not specify whether there was any specific information which had led to the warning.
“We saw it recently in Paris, unfortunately we have seen it earlier as well,” she added ahead of a meeting of EU interior ministers.
It’s like the “mass shooting” hysteria in America. Nothing like the media portrays. I’ll spare y’all the numbers, because facts are never welcome in that particular debate, but it’s nothing like they present. Rare, as you said.
Does it strike no one else as odd that the government and media seem to be inadvertently colluding to scare us? They have different reasons, eyeballs-on-content and mass control, respectively.
I’m old, grew up with 3 TV stations. They had to report basically the same news or be regarded as biased, which was a mortal sin. Boring as paste. Trust was a major factor in deciding what news to watch. (And of course, that was biased in itself.)
No conspiracy here, they’re just doing what works to get what they want.
America has a gun problem, that isn’t debatable.
America has more guns and far far more mass shootings than anyone else. If compare yourself to your peers you will see just how bad it is in America. I have never been within 500 miles of a school shooting, can anyone in America say that?
