Washington shooting sparks strong response from EU’s Kallas “Political violence has no place in a democracy”
26 April 2026 11:59
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas has commented on the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner held at the Washington Hilton hotel, underlining that democracy cannot coexist with political violence.
In a post on her X account, she said she was relieved that all participants of the event, including US President Donald Trump, were safe. “Political violence has no place in a democracy,” Kallas emphasised.
She added that an event dedicated to press freedom should never become “a scene of fear.”
Kallas also wished a speedy recovery to the injured police officer.
