Today, it is one year since the deal between the European Union and Turkey on relocation of refugees came into force. Howard Lee, International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) PresidentĪlessandro Pirisi, International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) Secretary General The EU-Turkey agreement it’s not the migration policy that we need! It is in that spirit, that we, young socialists and progressives, now quote a Conservative former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Winston Churchill, when London was attacked during the second world war, “You do your worst, and we will do our best”. More so now than ever before, that we must respond to these manifestations of the worst of humanity, with the best of our human nature. It is time that we, the Progressives, extend our hands of peace and progress to fellow humans of all colour or creed for Peace. It is time that all of humanity join hands and hearts in fighting fear and violence, with courage and hope. This tactic of dividing and disrupting peaceful democratic societies with fear and terror must be opposed, with a strong measure of human resolve and a timely unification of all lovers of peace. This shows a strategically planned and placed attack on democratic institutions and the notion of peace. For those who are no longer with us, we mourn you.Įxactly one year after the Brussels attack, it is difficult to dispute the terroristic intent behind the attack. For the brave public service and law enforcement personnel, who are on high alert and currently working overtime to re-stabilise London, our gratitude and solidarity are with you. The attack has brought terror and shockwaves of fear unto lives of practitioners of democracy, Londoners, as well as tourists from all around the world there to witness and experience one of the oldest functioning democracies at work.įor those who have been injured and suffered losses as a result of the attack, our hearts and spirits are with you. We also condemn – on no uncertain terms – the despicable and inhuman acts, upon the gates of one of the most prominent and recognisable symbols of modern democracy: Westminster Abbey in London. On behalf of IUSY, we extend our hand of solidarity and most heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the catastrophic incident of terror unfolded outside of Westminster London.
